Amish Slaw

I live in a wonderful Amish community and the ladies here are wonderful cooks. This is a lovely cole slaw recipe for those who like slaw without mayonnaise.

Ingredients

• 1 medium head cabbage, cored and shredded
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon celery seed
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
• 0.75 cup vegetable oil

Steps

1. In a large bowl, toss together the cabbage, onion, and 1 cup sugar. In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, salt, celery seed, 1 teaspoon white sugar, mustard and oil. Bring to a boil, and cook for 3 minutes. Cool completely, then pour over cabbage mixture, and toss to coat. Refrigerate overnight for best flavor.
