LOL ive already got everything i need for that! But these will be large, burpless cucumbers.I might pickle a few, and make them spicy or sweat. Or might find a way to incorporate it into a nice dish. Maybe use the grill or make a casserole

if you decide to pickle them, you should make them really spicy.
Spicy pickles are delicious, you should cut up a bunch of habaneros and throw them in with the cucumbers in the jar

This recipe is quite good:
Quote:
Source (with pictures):hxxp://www.foodinjars.com/2009/08/garlic-dill-pickles/
Garlic Dill Pickles
Makes approximately 8 pints (total yield varies depending on size of cucumbers)
2 overflowing quarts of pickling cucumbers, sliced into fat coins* 4 cups apple cider vinegar 4 cups water 6 tablespoons pickling salt 16 garlic cloves, peeled (2 per jar)** ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper per jar (2 teaspoons total) 1 teaspoon dill seed per jar (8 teaspoons total) ½ teaspoon black peppercorns per jar (4 teaspoons total)
Wash and slice the cucumbers.
In a large saucepot, combine vinegar, water and salt. Bring to a simmer.
Arrange jars on counter and dole out the spices to each. Pack the cucumber slices firmly into the jars. You don’t want to damage the cukes, but you do want them packed tight.
Pour the brine into the jar, leaving ½ inch headspace.
Wipe rims, apply lids and rings and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
When 10 minutes are up, promptly remove the jars from the pot and allow them to cool on the countertop. When the jars are cool, check the seals (by pushing/tapping on the lid).
Pickles can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to a year.
If you want to skip the boiling water process, these pickles are also wonderful as refrigerator pickles. Just pop the jars into the fridge once they’re cool.
*I use slices because I find that they are easiest to pack into jars. However, you could also choose to make spears, halves or pickle the cucumbers whole.
Maybe a touch too much salt for some people, but everyone I've given a jar to has raved about them. They're particularly good as refrigerator pickles.
