I just bought a pack of pickling cukes (about 10). Do you have a fave recipe to share?

Yes,

Slicing them into salads without having to peel off a *&$%@$*#$*$ wax coated rind.

; )

Two favorites:

Chinese Cucumber Salad
Slice cucumbers and onions into bowl. Sprinkle with a spoonful of sugar and some crushed red pepper flakes. Add a slurp of sesame oil and rice vinegar to cover, toss and let marinate for a few hours in the fridge before serving.

Austrian Cucumber Salad
Slice cucumbers, chop green onions. Salt and pepper. Stir 2 tbls. cider vinegar and 1 tbls. sugar into 1/2 cup sour cream. Toss with the cucumbers and refrigerate for a few hours before serving.

 
My kids always enjoyed these. Refrigerator Pickles

I've only made them with regular cucumbers.
Boil 2 quarts water, 1 1/2 cups white vinegar, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4- 1/2 cup salt. Wash 8 cucumbers, cut off each end and slice. Put in jars with 3-4 sprigs fresh dill, 2 or 3 garlic cloves, sliced. *Add 1/4 tsp. alum. Cover with boiling liquid. Refrigerate 24 hours.
* Make sure you add alum befor adding liquid.
