Question

ok so my aunt in law gave me a bunch of huge cucumbers.. I have no idea what to do with them. there's more than we will eat in a few days and I have the slightest idea of how to can anything..... can I freeze them maybe?

Answer 1

no, you can't freeze them. You could always turn them into pickles! I'll try to look up the process and give you a link.

You can just snack healthier, eating the cucumbers.

Answer 2

no you can't freeze cucumbers.  you can slice them and make pickles

Answer 3

Take the seeds from them for next years garden.  Let them dry out slowly out of the sun, they will grow when planted.  You'll end up with alot of them, so you can even give some away.

Answer 4

The only things I can think of most people said already.  You could pickle them, or make cucmber salad.  You could also make a cold cucumber soup, cucumber sandwhiches, or a cucumber salsa.  If you do a search for "cucumber recipes" there is a ton of stuff that comes up!

Answer 5

If you freeze them they will be mushy when you defrost them due to the high water content. I would suggest eating what you can and giving the rest away. You could make tzatziki sauce which is delicious on many things besides gyros or you could simply make what my mom called cucumber salad: cucumbers with enough sour cream to coat them, salt & pepper to taste, let it marinade over night and serve the next day. Delicious!

Answer 6

i don't think you can freeze them because of their high water content . maybe you can pickle some of them  ? not much else to do with cucumbers unless you live on salads for the next week  

Answer 7

I am sorry, but this is probably the funniest question I have read today.

Answer 8

You can't freeze them but maybe you could give them away before they go bad.
