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

http://foodiemama.com/Canning-and-Preserving-Food/Sweet-Pickle-Relish.html

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? :

I really like chutney myself.

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

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.

You can find recipe here:

http://www.recipezaar.com/Julia-Childs-Baked-Cucumbers-With-All-Variations-244503

And an article about the Julie & Julia movie with a variation on the recipe here:

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.
