CUCUMBER SPICE RINGS
I found this recipe on line a couple summers ago and tried it because it was different. Shared a few jars and now I have folks asking for jars of it!! It's different but very tasty...sort of reminds you of spiced apple rings. Well worth the try and you can use the very large yellowing skinned cucumbers so it saves waste of...

RED HOTS (CANDIED CUCUMBERS)
I got this recipe from my mother-in-law because my husband loves them and this past summer I had an aubadance of cucumbers. It does however take five days to make this recipe and plenty of space. I have given them away for Christmas gifts as well until my husband found out...lol.

CANDIED CUCUMBER RINGS (GREAT USE FOR OVERSIZED CUCUMBERS)
This is a great way to use the surplus of oversized cucumbers. They are a great change that tastes NOTHING like a cucumber. No one will believe it when you say they are cucumbers rather your guests will think they ate great, crispy, RED, hot, cinnamony apples. The oversized cucumbers are the best because they have thicker walls and hold good ringed shapes. It sounds like a huge amount to work to read the directions by it is mostly just sitting time and they are GOOD.

CINNAMON CUCUMBER RINGS
Gotten off a blog and tried. WOW! Might try with zucchini and keep in freezer for a huge centerpiece. Could do apple rings with exact recipe. Could easily be done with excess, too mature, cucumbers by growers at the newly opened FEED incubator kitchen in Madison, Wisconsin. Served as appetizer at the Tuesday, November 12th open house at FEED location.

Servings 4Estimated Reading Time 3 mins
- Preheat oven to 350°. Bring sugar, salt, and 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat, carefully add cucumbers, then vanilla and simmer gently 10 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer cucumbers to a parchment-lined baking sheet; spread out in a single layer. (Save the infused syrup! It’s great in cocktails or any drink you want to add a subtle cucumber flavor to and will keep airtight up to 3 months.) Bake cucumbers until almost tacky (you don’t want them to be too wet), 12–15 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet.
- While the cucumbers are cooling, toast almonds in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool.
- Whisk cream and 2 Tbsp. sugar in a chilled medium bowl until soft peaks form (chilling the whisk so it’s cold is a good idea too!).
