Thanks for that, although I did a search on the web address above and can't find one! But I will give the cucumber and pineapple one a go.

nicandmik, did you mean that you couldn't find a cucumber pickle at all or that you couldn't find a recipe that you like?
On that link (as in #2) there are these recipes... . .
Cucumber Relish - 3 versions of Cucumber and Pineapple Relish Tomato and Cucumber Relish Cucumber Chutney - 3 versions of
so there are 8 recipes there for cucumber pickles which is why I didn't c&p from there - I felt that it was best for you to choose for yourself from those that are on that link as I don't have a personal favourite from there to recommend. :-))

Thanks heaps every one, I did manage to find some on that web address. I did a cucumber and tomato one that was basic and very nice. I'm about to try the one with pineapple as it uses more cucumber which was the aim as I have to many! !
