had thought about doing them similar to beetroot -except with white vinegar-and keep them in the fridge in a jar - seems a pity to waste them but have far too many

I think they might be too watery to treat the same as beetroot.How about Bread & Butter Pickle!Let me know if you want a recipe.

Can't see why not.I did see recipes that say to remove the seeds etc so you are left only with the firm flesh.Alison Holst has a recipe somewhere (try Google) for "Bread & Butter Pickles"
Two sliced telegraph cucumbers sprinkle 2 tsp of sea salt over, stir and leave to sweat. stir every now and then for 2 hours, drain, rinse and dry a little with a paper towel. bring to the boil 1 cup of wine vinegar 1/2 a cup of sugar 1/2 tsp each; mustard seeds turmeric whole black pepper corns Pour over cucumber while hot. Keep in the fridge, like you do, beetroot. I have mine in a container just like my beetroot.
