Sweet Sour Sauce:

Add all ingredients to a saucepan, bring to a simmer, and simmer for about five minutes to blend flavors. Remove to a blender and process until smooth.

Taste and adjust seasonings. If consistency isn’t what’s desired, return to the saucepan and simmer until the desired thickness is reached.

Save one cup to make the Bundt Pan Cabbage Roll. Serve the remainder warm or chilled over the individual servings.

Bundt Pan Cabbage Roll:

Prepare the sauce first.

Add cored cabbage to a large pan, fill with hot water to cover by two to three inches. Bring to a boil, turn down to a low boil.  Boil about five minutes, using a large plate to hold the cabbage under the surface. Fish out and place head of cabbage in a bowl just slightly larger than the cabbage. Cover water and reserve in case it’s needed later.

In a small pan, bring three cups of water to a boil. Add rice and raisins. Adjust heat to a lively simmer and cook for five minutes. Drain and set aside.

To a large bowl, add ground beef, rice mixture, finely chopped onion, eggs, and salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Set aside.

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees F.

Spray a bundt cake pan with cooking spray. Line the bundt pan with cabbage leaves pulled from the head of cabbage. Read additional notes in the post, but be sure to leave edges of cabbage leaves jutting above the center hole of the bundt pan and hanging over the outside of the pan.

Pack the meat mixture gently but firmly into pan. Cover with a layer of remaining leaves, piecing together as necessary. Fold the cabbage jutting out from the center of the pan and hanging over the outside in and over the top of the cabbage. The top should be completely encased.

Cover with foil. Place on a baking sheet to catch any boil over (line with foil if desired) and bake for 90 minutes to 2 hours. Ovens vary, check early. Test with a thermometer if desired, temperature in the center should be around 155 to 160 degrees F. Rest for 20 minutes at least, before turning out onto a rimmed platter.

Serve with sauce.
