I found this monster cucumber next to the fence after the rest of the vine had shriveled. Nearly two pounds and skin as hard as winter squash. Anyone know a way to make this palatable? Would a mature cuke bake up like squash?

Yep....it's large, over-ripe cucumber time again in the northern hemisphere!.....
