This delightfully delicious recipe came from my Aunt Helen. I serve it alongside ham or turkey for the holidays or on its own with a salad and rolls.Darlene King, Estevan, Saskatchewan

There is supposed to be 1/4 cup packed brown sugar in the sauce (I still have the original magazine!). We love this! My husband does not like the sweet type of sauce so this is perfect. I leave out the ginger, personal pref. I have used rice in place of the barley. When the direction says "large" cabbage, no kidding. 10 leaves from a regular sized cabbage will use about 1/2 the filling! I chop the leftover cabbage and put it in bottom of the baking dish, putting the rolls on top.

It is missing the amount of sugar needed in the sauce or the kind. I made this from the book but no longer have it so just guessed and tasted as I went. Lexi0145

Too much ginger. Didn't much care for the barley in it even though we love barley. Sauce was good I used hot salsa instead of the chili sauce. I will make my regular rolls with rice but will use the sauce recipe.

I didn't put any sugar in the sauce and thought it was delicious....just heated it through and poured over. Great change on the filling using the barley instead of the usual rice. Loved it!

Did you get an answer to your sauce question. I was planning on making them and had the same question. Thanks, Joan

This recipe looks great! For those who've tried making it already I have a question about the sauce. It says in the directions to heat the sauce until the sugar melts but I don't see any sugar in the ingredients (except for the tablespoon of dark sugar in the meat mixture). Could you tell me how much & what type of sugar you added to the sauce. Thanks!!

These cabbage rolls are so good! I love the barley. I use 1 pound ground beef and 1 pound ground pork. I spoon about 1/3 cup meat mixture onto cabbage leaf, making about 15-20 servings. I also double the sauce because I use 2 dishes. Yum!
