Serve this in a small bowl alongside a meal or for a crowd, this makes the best cold shot to pass around to family and friends. An amuse-bouche in your backyard! One of my neighborhood buddies I grew up with and fellow recipe swapper, Frank Suher, begged the chef for this recipe from a place in Nantucket, Massachusetts. Original recipe made 2 quarts! We both revamped to downsize, plus, I made it gluten free and added in zucchini. Thanks, Frank!

3/4-1 pound cucumbers, peeled and seeded, cut into chunks
