You can eat it raw when it is very young. Tastes like a cucumber without water. Not my favorite way, since it has some bitterness to it. I prefer to eat it when it is fully grown. Indeed, stuffed. But more often I add it to a wok dish. It keeps its bite and is somehow like a green pepper.
I have never canned nor preserved. But I bet you can, just like cucamelons are picked. Be sure to remove the seeds because they are huge and non edible.
