Place the bag in boiling water--the water in which the cabbage was boiled and as much fresh boiling water as needed to cover well. Simmer the cabbage gently for 45 minutes. Drain it in a colander, untie the bag and place the cabbage in a hot serving dish. Serve with the following onion sauce.
Brown in the top of a double boiler:
1/4 cup butter
Add and stir until brown:
2 tablespoons flour
Stir in 1/2 cup stock or cabbage water
Add:

Cook the onions until they are very tender. Add 1 1/2 cups more stock gradually. The gravy is best when it is thick with onions.
