Freezer slaw is a great make-ahead slaw that stays crisp! This is my husband's mom's recipe that's been in the family for years. I shred the cabbage and other vegetables in the food processor.

Ingredients

1 large head cabbage, shredded
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 small small onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, shredded
2 cups boiling water
2 teaspoons salt
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup water
¾ cup cider vinegar
2 teaspoons celery seed

Directions

Combine cabbage, green bell pepper, onion, and carrots in a large bowl. Mix boiling water and salt together in a separate bowl and pour over cabbage mixture; set aside for salt to draw out extra water from vegetables, about 1 hour. Drain well.
Mix sugar, 1 cup water, cider vinegar, and celery seed in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Remove the saucepan from the heat and cool completely.
Pour cooled sugar-vinegar mixture over drained cabbage mixture in a large bowl and toss until slaw is well mixed. Spoon slaw into resealable plastic bags; squeeze out excess air, seal the bag, and freeze.

Tips

When ready to use, thaw in the refrigerator, drain excess fluid, and add mayonnaise to suit your taste.
