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.

Slow Cooker Carolina BBQ
A perfect Carolina pulled pork recipe. Just find yourself a slow cooker, a big pork shoulder, some cider vinegar, and get cooking! While ground and crushed red pepper will provide the basic heat, go the extra mile and find some Texas Pete (or Trappey's) pepper sauce to bring the taste of Carolina to your kitchen.

Homemade Soft Pretzels
This homemade pretzel recipe is great! After spending so much money on those mall pretzels, I thought I'd try making some myself. They are a bit sweeter than other types and are buttery. Dip the hot pretzel in melted butter and coat with your favorite flavors.
