CUCUMBER SAUCE, Hot  
Serve over Salmon Loaf.
Ingredients:
2 Medium Cucumbers, peeled, seeded and chopped
2.5 Tablespoons butter
2.5 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoons salt
1.5 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 egg yolks
Procedures:
In a 2 quart saucepan, simmer cucumbers in 1 quart water until tender-crisp.
Drain; add water to liquid to make 1 3/4 cups; set aside.
In the same saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter; add flour and stir until smooth.
Slowly add reserved liquid; cook, stirring until thickened.
Add salt, lemon peel, juice and cooked cucumber; cook just until boiling.
in small bowl, beat egg yolks slightly, stir in some hot liquid; slowly add mixture to pan; cook, stirring, until thickened (do not boil).
Notes:
2015-02-09: We modified this to become Chilled Cucumber Sauce, which was served over Baked Salmon Squares.
2012-12-19: with only 1 cucumber, I halved the recipe with the exception of the eggs. It is chunky and probably needed to be boat-motored; pretty bad!
2012-12-17: Added to our Cookbook.
