Sweet and Sour Coleslaw
This is sometimes called Funeral Slaw, as this is a great dish to take to someone that has had a death in the family. I can sit out for hours without worry. It keeps for weeks and weeks, also freezes very well.
1 large cabbage (3 pounds)
1 medium sweet green pepper, minced, or grated
1 medium onion, peeled, minced, or grated
1 medium carrot, minced or grated
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon celery seeds
1 cup Apple Cider vinegar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
Remove outer leaves of cabbage, quarter, and remove core. Slice very fine, or grate;
combine with green pepper, onion and carrot.
Mix sugar, mustard and celery seed in a small saucepan. Add vinegar and oil, let come to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves.
Pour over cabbage (while hot) and toss to mix well.
Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving. Really best if left overnight.
