Just took a stroll out in the garden. I have SO MANY CUCUMBERS, it’s ridiculous! Cr@ptastic tomatoes; I don’t see how they can recover this late in the game. :(

So, I went looking for ideas as to how to use up the surplus, as I have NEVER had a Cucumber Season like this one, with all the rain!

So far I have printed out recipes for ‘Cucumber Mint Jam’ and ‘Cucumber Cream Cheese Tuna Roll Ups.’ :)

I made a spread the other day. Sour cream, salt, pepper, crushed garlic maybe 3 large cloves. And a medium sized peeled cucumber. Cut out the seeds and shred. Started with just a cup and a half of sour cream. Had it on light crusty bread toasted and some seared lamb chunks topped with chopped greens, onions and a couple of cherry tomatoes. The sauce is great. If you have a juicer I would be juicing that many cucumbers and drinking it.

LOL, I am crunching on a bowl of cucumber slices as I am reading this thread.
