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.
