This is also my favorite recipe for cucumber: sliced, a little salt and pepper and sour cream, garnish with chives from the garden. Very yummy.

You can make soup, pickle them, make a dip, etc. Just Google Cucumber recipes. There's a bunch.

I love refrigerator pickles. Just slice cucumbers thinly, put into container with equal parts oil and vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. Add sugar for sweeter pickles.

The other thing I like to do is stuff them with tuna salad. I hollow out the cucumber and put the seeds into the tuna. I only use a little mayo in the tuna. You could make chicken orchard salad too. I usually eat these sliced up with a stuffed tomato to use the rest of the tuna and some big leaf lettuce.

Of course, I love cucumbers as a snack. Just the right amount of crunch and cool.

3/4 cukes peeled, cut in half, scoop out seeds if they are big or 6/8 kirbys, salt and place in colander to drain for about 2 hours. Place in a bowl add thinly sliced red or white onions, garlic powder and sour cream. Refrigerate . My grandchildren love them!!

For those that requested my easy pickle recipe here it is:
This recipe was used my mother and my aunt for may years.

MOM's PICKLES

slice enough cucumbers to make 3 gallons.
1 cup pickling lime (Mrs. Wages) also know as builders lime
Sugar (white)
vinegar white
pickling spices
sterile canning jars

Place sliced cucumbers in large bucket, EX. 5 gallon bucket works best. One cup lime plus enough water to cover the slices.
Let this soak overnight. Next morning rinse/wash slices until
water is clear. Lime will feel gritty on the slices.
Place cucumber slices in large pot, add 1 1/2 cups sugar to each 1 cup of vineger. Do this until covered. Put pickling spices in a cloth bag, an unused knee hose works good.
Let soak 3 hours.
Then bring to a hard boil for 20 minutes. Pack in sterile jars cap and let cool.
I like to cover the hot jars with a dish towel while cooling.

Enjoy
If a you have any questions please let me know.
