We put our spare cucumbers through the juicer; great before breakfast.

Bread and butter pickle is good - and very easy to make.

I love these little cucumbers. Can't wait for mine to start cropping. Spotted a receipe recently for Cucumber jelly with mint mousse which I'm posting in the Recipe Section.

Hello Gilly
I'm afraid that I can't help you with any ideas except to eat them as they come!
I've grown two plants of 'Zeina' in a frame this year - the first time I've tried mini cucs. They're great - very productive, super taste and started cropping very early. Don't think I'll ever go back to the long frame types that I've grown always grown before.
