The recipe was born from a discovery: it turns out that even the most shabby white cabbage, when combined with honey, acquires significance. The honey brine creates a sweetish cocoon around the leaves, and inside - that same irrepressible cabbage spirit. Why is it better to roll up whole leaves instead of shredded cabbage in this recipe? This gives more options: you can use the leaves for stuffed cabbage rolls and dolma, and prepare salad dressings with honey brine. However, shredded cabbage with honey will also be an excellent filling for pies, strudels and kulebyakas.
