From the Garden...Cabbage Rolls

This recipe is from The Golden Treasury of Cooking one of my older cookbooks that I use a lot.  

 Cabbage is often on sale at our local stores and our Fareway store sells ground pork that is not too fatty.
 The main trick to these is to be sure to leave the cabbage leaves in the boiling water till they are limp. The first two I made I didn’t leave in long enough and they were hard to roll. After I tried leaving them in the whole 3 minutes, they worked much better. Do notice that the rice is cooked. If it is cold it separates better and won’t clump on you so it is a good idea to make ahead. If you have some leftover rice or some in the freezer that works well.
  This will serve 6 people. They are filling and most won’t want more than one. Serve them with a hot bread, I used bread sticks and a relish tray. An apple crisp for dessert would be good.
