 Peel cucumbers and cut in half, scooping out the seeds. Rub with salt and

 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.
