Cucumber Granita

Ingredients

• 4 cucumbers (about 3 pounds)
• 1 tablespoon honey
• Lemon wedges (optional)

Preparation

1. 1. Cut cucumbers into 3-inch chunks. Place half of cucumber chunks and honey in a blender or food processor; process until smooth. Pour the pureed cucumber mixture through a large cheesecloth-lined sieve into a bowl. Repeat procedure with remaining cucumbers. Cover and chill cucumber mixture 8 hours or overnight.
