RE: preserving cabbage

Charles,

Everything I've checked says to "use cabbage fresh and to store it, make
sauerkraut!"

If I had extra cabbage, I would probably set up a Saturday assembly line,
parboil the leaves, and make a freezer-full of stuffed cabbage rolls.  YUM.
Major winter-time comfort food.
