Freezer Slaw
Gail
"My husband kept talking about 'Freezer Slaw' that his mom made and I couldn't find a recipe for it and she couldn't find hers. Luckily, his aunt still had it! This is a great make-ahead slaw that stays crisp! I shred the cabbage and other vegetables in the food processor."

- 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 saucepan from 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 and freeze.

This is a wonderful slaw. It's excellent fresh, 'as is' without being drained and adding mayo. I'll be making plenty with the garden cabbage to use through the winter. Brought a rave from my h...

This was the closest recipe I could find that matched my grandmother's freezer slaw. It can be simplified and still has a great taste! I skipped step one altogether. Just do steps 2 and 3 an...

I had been looking for a good coleslaw with a vinegar base. I found it! This coleslaw is delicious! Bonus: you can always have some on hand in the freezer!
