Cooky.... Yup great to use up those extra cuc's from the garden.. Similar to the one I posted last week "Curried Cucumber Pickle" that has the same ingredients apart from where that one uses turmeric, the curried one uses curry powder (go figure :})and capsicums...Spose there is a lot of similar ones about and using the same basics with variations...

Was looking for some way to use up a bucket of cucumbers, but the link is not available any more.
Anybody got any other ideas rather than fermenting and pickling and daily salads!

Give them to the Hospice shop!Our Hospice shop welcomes donations from local growers with a surplus.
You mentioned elsewhere that you regularly donate Mills & Boon books to your local Hospice shop.
