If you don't use sugar you will have a bowl of cucumber ice. The sugar actually helps to keep the sorbet softer. I try to use as little as possible in my recipes, though I learned long after I created this one that you can invert the sugar using citric acid for even better texture. You can try playing around with how much sugar you add by increasing the amount of citric acid in the simple syrup to see if it still freezes well, but I'm not sure how it will taste. Good luck!

The only step I did differently was push the pureed cucumber through the sieve before I combinded it with simple syrup. I can't wait to try this as a sorbet!

I think I'll try this with the lemon cucumbers (a little sweeter than a standard cuke, with a hint of tanginess) and elderflower syrup to replace some of the simple syrup.

I liked it because I find it's sweeter than the traditional English cucumber and its seeds are smaller. A Persian cucumber is a smaller variety of cucumber that you can usually find year-round.
