Stuffed Cucumbers (Cut each cucumber in halves)

Cut each cucumber in halves and scrape out the seeds. To each six allow a half cup of bread crumbs, two tablespoonfuls of chopped ham, one tablespoonful of parsley, one tablespoonful of chopped onion, salt and pepper to taste. Mix the ingredients together, fill the cucumbers, tie the two halves together, place them in a baking pan. Add one cup of water to the pan, cover with another pan and bake in a moderate oven three-quarters of an hour. Serve with drawn butter in a boat. The cucumbers may also be served in halves and the sauce poured over them.
