but you can keep the cucumbers!
I've experimented with those and was also not impressed
I read something on a website about cucumber slices lightly seasoned with finely chopped mint and dried as chips. Hmmmmmmm more a texture thing with me than taste, but worth a go as I had a tray free and the dehydrator was going. You can retrieve most things by bunging them in the food processor and blitzing to a powder. The cucumber was actually pretty good that way in yogurt to go with curry and mayo based salad dressing. Not that wow I would go the effort to reproduce it unless I had a massive glut, but it avoided wasting them
Back to pears. I've done a tray of pear chunks dipped in orange juice, as the ones I had ripening were going faster than we could eat them and I had the dehydrator going with tomato chunks overnight. Just dashed to the plot on the way to work today to pick the last of the pears before the storms arrive, so will put them in a dish on the dining room table for ripening later
