Ingredients

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

Recipe Instructions

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 3

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.
