Grandma Shelly's Cabbage Rolls

1  Large Head of Cabbage  ... cut out core and put in a large bowl , pour boiling water over the cabbage and cover. The leaves will soften and pull apart easily, drain and add more boiling water if they need more steaming.

Make your Rice , I use Long Grain,  6 cups of water, 3 cups of rice, salt and a bit of butter, Bring to a boil , and then reduce heat until rice is almost cooked , and very little water remains.

Chop up 1 medium white onion and saute in about 2 Tbsp of butter , add to the pot of cooked  rice.
Mix into the rice about 1/2 to 3/4 cup ground pork , salt , pepper, and garlic salt to taste.

Cut the hard core veins out of your cabbage leaves , and wrap the rice mixture in the cabbage leaves.
Place into a small roaster that has been greased and lined with some of the cabbage leaves that are to small to roll.

Sauce:
1     can of Hunts Tomato Sauce
1/2  can of water ( use the tomato sauce can )
1     Tbsp of Brown Sugar
1/2  tsp of Lemon Juice
