Steps:
- 1. Put the cabbage, onion and pepper in a big bowl and sprinkle with the salt and mix together well. Let stand for 1 hour and it will "shrink" down to about 3/4ths to 1/2 of original size. This step is what keeps it crunchy.
- 2. Next stir together in a sauce pan on med. heat on the stove the vinegar,water,sugar,celery seed and mustard seed. Turn on your over head fan to get rid of the vinegar fumes (pretty potent). Bring to a boil and let boil for 3 minutes. Let cool and when the hour is up on the cabbage pour over and mix together well. Let stand for 1/2 hour to meld the flavors.
- 3. Left overs can be put away in the freezer and then thawed out and will still be yummy and crunchy!

- 2. *****The bag of Classic coleslaw is prepared cabbage and carrots, all natural and preservative free. Looking forward to my garden to use my own!
Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage. Green cabbage is the most commonly used cabbage for coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both. Red cabbage will give your coleslaw a beautiful purple color.
- Shred the cabbage finely. This will help the dressing to coat the cabbage evenly.
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline to shred the cabbage. This will help to create even, thin pieces of cabbage.
- Add other vegetables to your coleslaw. Some popular additions include carrots, celery, and onions.
- Make your own dressing. There are many different recipes for coleslaw dressing, so you can find one that suits your taste. A simple dressing made with mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and salt is always a good option.
- Let the coleslaw chill before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the dressing to thicken.
Conclusion:
Coleslaw is a versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It is a healthy and refreshing dish that is perfect for summer cookouts or potlucks. With so many different recipes to choose from, you are sure to find a coleslaw that you love.
