Let me know if it was a success.

Do you think savoy would be ok to use? It's a different texture and the leaves may be too thick.

You can use any variety of cabbage - if it is too dry you can make a brine to add to it. To make the brine you use 1 tablespoon canning or pickling sale (I normally use sea salt) per 2 cups of filtered water.
