Can I use apple cucumbers when making chutney, there are several recipes on these threads for cucumber chutneys, but I not sure if I could use the apple cucumbers I have, as they are very juicy , may make it to runny. Any ideas would be great thank you

Cool. I will watch this thread with interest. My one plant has so many fruit on it that I'm going to be eating nothing but cucumber for a month I reckon.

We've had loads of fruit on our one plant as well but I'm not even sure I like them - maybe others are better gardeners than me but ours tasted quite sour.

Use a gherkinb recipe and use white vinegar to preserve them. Goes with meat and toms sandwiches beautifully.

Did you find it salty ! I found a jar I had made last year(didnt realise I had made it), and I had written on the label - salty. So have now amended my recipe and will make another lot. I havent any other recipes, but I am sure someone will pop in here with some.
