I don't remember raisins in my Czech descent grandmother's cabbage rolls or stuffed green peppers which were pretty much the same thing.

However, we did have a lot of fruit with meat. Apples and (sour) cherries mostly, also jams and such on the side. Maybe it was partly because my grandfather was a produce manager for Safeway. But even during the 60s we had exotic things like guava jelly on the side of chicken dishes.

Our new house is near a Lebanese society, we went to a fundraising dinner there that featured cabbage rolls, which were much thinner than I remember grandma's -- cigar shaped/size. Here's a non-raisin recipe that is similar to that:
