I had misgivings about using the whole of the limes, and I wasn't wrong as this turned out horribly bitter. The limes were very thin-skinned with not much pith, but it was still enough to spoil the taste. I might try this again next time we have a glut of cucumbers, but I will just be using the lime zest and juice.
