I have a huge amount of cucumbers coming in and would like to see a recipe(s) for fermenting cukes.

Thanks for reaching out. Really, the recipe here for “Fermented Dilly Beans” could be used just as well for cucumbers also by just switching out the main ingredient. The process will be the same and the aromatics and spices are up to you. If you like, we might suggest dividing into a couple batches or more so that you can make different flavor combinations. Just keep the fermentation process and key ingredients (water and kosher salt) consistent and you should have great results. I’ve got a batch of basil pickles going now. Not sure if it will be as good as if I used dill…but that’s part of the fun. Best of luck!
