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
- 1.5 cups white sugar
- 1 cup water
- 0.75 cups cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons celery seed
Instructions
-
1
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.
-
2
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.

Quick and Easy Broccoli Slaw
This crunchy broccoli slaw is a fast, easy, and very tasty side dish. You can also add diced apples or crumbled bacon, and use raisins instead of cranberries. This recipe is only a start! It's great to make ahead of time โ I'd say it's at its best after at least a day.
Barbecued Beef Sandwiches
This recipe came from a military wife almost 30 years ago (thanks Elise) and it couldn't be much easier. Simply combine all ingredients and cook for 3 hours, then shred the meat. Serve it on buns of your choice...and then sit back and take in the compliments! Everyone loves this recipe, and I've used it at fund raising events with great success! Excellent with potato salad or coleslaw.
