I used parchment paper to line the pan, but my problem was that almost all the baked sugar cucumbers stuck to the parchment paper, and were almost impossible to get off. Had to cut off the parchment paper…and it was a mess.

Next time, I’ll have to find myself a Silpat and try that (with hopefully better results).

I saved the syrup and used it in some smoothies and another batch of cupcakes.

I’ll dispute some of the directions… if these are to end up as crispy as they appear in the photo, they need to be sliced thinner — more like 1/8″ thick. I made them at 1/4″ thick and they never got past being damp and chewy. I even backed them for much longer than indicated. Also, note that they shrink quite a bit.
After boiling in the sugar syrup, cool and keep the syrup for drinks or other uses. The syrup ends up smelling and tasting so fresh and unique due to the cucumber flavor.

It turns out chewy like gummies. I’ll have to give cuke candy a try.
