Awesome slaw with bbq pork - this is a vinegar based slaw - just to let y'all know. This also an OLD recipe! I shred my cabbage by whirling it in the food processor - you could also use prepackaged slaw mix - just still add the onions and sugar
Ingredients:
2 heads cabbage, shredded
1 cup white sugar, 2 tbsp removed and reserved
1 onion, chopped
2 tablespoons sugar, from reserve
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 cup white vinegar or 1 cup cider vinegar
3/4 cup salad oil, vegetable oil to those not southern
Directions:
1. Combine shredded cabbage, sugar (less 2 tbsp), and onion.
2. Bring to a boil in a saucepan the remaining ingredients and pour over cabbage mixture. Chill at least 24 hours.
3. NOTE: This was my great-grandmother's recipe, and I've never had a problem boiling the oil, but if you don't think it's a good idea, then heat the other ingredients to a boil and add the oil when you take it off the heat.
