Cabbage Rolls

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. 2
   Bring large pot of water to the boiling point and add salt.
3. 3
   Core cabbage and place in boiling water. As the outer leaves become tender, peel them off and set aside to cool.
4. 4
   In a large bowl, mix together well the cream, bread crumbs, 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon salt, allspice, and ground beef.
5. 5
   Add the cooked barley or rice.
6. 6
   Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of the filling on each cabbage leaf. Wrap the leaf around the filling and tuck in the ends. Place the rolls seam side down in a buttered heavy casserole, and drizzle the corn syrup over them (use a brush to distribute the syrup evenly).
7. 7
   Cover and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the cover and pour in about 2 cups boiling water or enough to almost cover the rolls. Leave the casserole uncovered, lower the oven temperature to 350°F, and continue baking for 1 hour.
8. 8
   Serve hot.
