Peel cucumbers and cut in half, scooping out the seeds. Rub with salt and
vinegar. Fill with the meat mixed with seasonings and put the halves
together fastening with a string or baking needles. Brown the bacon and
finely chopped onion in the butter in a deep skillet or casserole dish. Put
in the cucumbers; fill the skillet or dish with hot water (not too much or
they will give up much fluids) and cook until they are soft. Take the
cucumbers out and season and thicken the gravy with cornstarch. Cooking
time is about 30 min. From: Brigitte Sealing, Cyberealm BBS Watertown, NY
