Combine all sauce ingredients and mix in blender or food processor with

medium heat while you prepare the cabbage balls.

small to hold filling. Bring 1 cup of water to a boil, place the leaves in
the water, cover, turn to simmer, and let cook for 10 minutes till soft, or
microwave with One fourth cup water o Combine ground beef, grated potato, chopped
onion, eggs, ketchup, matzo meal (or bread crumbs) and One half cup water. Mix
well. Season with salt and pepper.

Fill the cabbage leaves by placing about 1 tablespoon of the ground meat
mixture in the middle of each leaf. Fold over the sides and roll the
cabbage ball away from you.

Place seam side down in the simmering sauce. Continue till all the cabbage
leaves have been used. (If you have some ground beef balls left over, just
add them to the sauce.) Cut up remaining small pieces of cabbage and
distribute them evenly over the top of the balls. Add the bay leaf. Check
for seasonings. (You may wish to add more lemon juice, cranberry sauce or
brown sugar, according to your taste.) Simmer, covered on top of the stove
for 20 minutes.

OVEN: 350 Bake uncovered for 20 minutes more to brown the top.

NOTES : Excellent. Lots of extra ground meat made lots of meatballs and
cooked in same pot, freezes well..used ground turkey...can reduce lemon
juice...
