I've made this recipe many, many times. It comes from the Boston Globe food section originally. It tastes just like the sweet and sour stuffed cabbage my grandmother used to make. It freezes well. It's much easier to freeze the cabbage for 2 days and defrost (takes about 2 days, too) than to have to boil the cabbage leaves separately.
