Over the past several years I've come to know Bette & Dale, local growers and neighbors of the Little Kitchen on the Sag Harbor-Bridgehampton Turnpike. We buy organic greens (lettuce mixes, arugula, spinach) from them every Thursday throughout the summer. This year, they've expanded their offerings to include strawberries and fresh eggs from the 50 chickens that occupy the 1/4 acre behind their greenhouse. Strawberries take on a special quality when they come from a home grower. Bite into them and you can tell: there’s no white center, no perfect singular shape. Each berry has its own distinctive look, and the flavor—which peaks in June—is almost incendiary. (After you’ve had one, eating supermarket berries—especially off-season—just seems like an exercise in disappointment.) This recipe calls for strawberry puree, whisked together with simple syrup and fresh lemon juice. If you don't have a local strawberry connection, look to your grocer’s freezer section for frozen strawberry puree. The color is sublime and, as we've found on Sunday mornings at Estia's Little Kitchen, the lemonade also makes for a lovely mimosa when mixed into a nice sparkling wine.
