| 1. Combine the cranberry sauce, tomato sauce, 2 cups tap water, and Splenda and bring to boil. | 2. Reduce to a simmer and add white raisins. | 3. Simmer 5 minutes. | 4. Core the head or heads of cabbage and place into large pot. | 5. Cover with water and bring to boil. | 6. Cover the pot and cook 10 to 15 minutes. | 7. Remove from hot water. | 8. Cover the cabbage with cold water and separate the leaves. I use only the larger leaves to go completely around the meatballs. | 9. In a mixing bowl, place the raw ground beef, 1 egg, 3 saltine crackers that are soaked and squeezed dry, grated onion, 1/4 cup warm water, 1 tablespoon ketchup, salt and pepper. | 10. After mixing the meat mixture well, form into meatballs and wrap each meatball in a cabbage leaf rolling them closed, and place them into a deep roasting pan. | 11. Cover with the sauce mixture. | 12. Cover with a lid or heavy duty aluminum foil and bake in a pre-heated 375 degree oven for an hour. | 13. You can either serve immediately or freeze until needed. | 14. NOTE: I usually make a double amount of sauce to use over mashed potatoes, because it is so delicious. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
