Why don't you make a relish, which goes well on hot dogs and hamburgers (of course) and beans and in tuna fish salad.

Of course there are fresh cucumber recipes, such as dips, sauces, salads and sandwiches that you find on the following link, with about 50 recipes:
http://basic-recipes.com/veget/cu/index.htm
Besides, pickling and eating them fresh, there are no practical alternatives for preservation of cucumbers, says the Illinois Extension Service:
urbanext.illinois.edu/veggies/cucumber1.html
Have you made both sour and sweet pickles? Of course, there are different styles of sour and sweet pickles if you are interested:

Have you thought about chutneys? :

It's a very interesting recipe, and makes a good side dish for pretty much anything. Can be cooked in advance, stored a day or two, then reheated.

Try frozen cucumber salad. My neighbor made about 40 quarts of this and saved them for the winter. It is also easy. Here is a link to a recipe. My favorite is bread and butter pickles. There is also a site that has different recipes for cucumbers so you can freeze them. Pick the recipe you would like to try. http://www.breakfast-and-brunch-recipes.com/cucumber-salad-recipe.html

Not for storing, but I just made the baked cucumbers recipe out of "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" by Julia Child et al. It's a very interesting recipe, and makes a good side dish for pretty much anything. Can be cooked in advance, stored a day or two, then reheated.
