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:

Besides, pickling and eating them fresh, there are no practical alternatives for preservation of cucumbers, says the Illinois Extension Service:

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? :

I hope this opens up some new ideas for you...
