What a unique way to serve cucumber! As odd as it may seem, I have never had warm cucumbers before. They were delicously tender and the shallots provided a nice, rich flavor. I used reduced fat sour cream, light butter, and Splenda instead of the sugar with great results. I also used 2 medium sized cucumbers and the balance of veggie and sauce was just right. Thanks for posting!
