From the old Brookville Hotel restaurant in Kansas, famous for their fried chicken, slaw, and creamed corn, all served family style. (The creamed corn is recipe #44906) This was the recipe that finally got me to eat cole slaw; everything else on their table was so good I decided to take a chance and was hooked forever! Cook time does not include initial chilling of cabbage & total servings vary depending on serving size.

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 lbs shredded green cabbage
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup whipping cream

Steps:

  • Cover shredded cabbage and refrigerate several hours or until well chilled.
  • 30 min before serving time, mix ingredients in order given.
  • Chill and serve.

Tips:

  • Prepare the cabbage and onion thinly. This will help the coleslaw absorb the dressing more easily and make it more flavorful.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to slice the cabbage and onion. This will ensure that the slices are even and consistent, which will help the coleslaw look its best.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with a shredding disc to slice the cabbage and onion. Just be careful not to over-process them, or they will become mushy.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the coleslaw.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vinegars. White vinegar is the traditional choice, but you can also use apple cider vinegar, rice vinegar, or even balsamic vinegar.
  • Add some sweetness to the dressing. This can be done with sugar, honey, or even pineapple juice.
  • Season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Let the coleslaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.
