Grandma’s Pepper Slaw

Description

This is my grandmother’s recipe for sweet and sour cabbage slaw that couldn’t be simpler to make! My family loves it as a side dish for grilled burgers and hot dogs, but it works equally well in winter time with roast pork, or beef.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head green cabbage, shredded
  • 2 green bell peppers, diced
  • salt to taste
  • 1 cup vinegar
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 2 tablespoons celery seed

Instructions

  1. Toss the cabbage and bell pepper together in a large bowl. Season the mixture liberally with salt; stir. Allow to sit 45 minutes; drain and return to the bowl.
  2. Bring the vinegar and sugar to a boil together in a saucepan. Immediately remove from heat and stir into the cabbage mixture. Add the celery seed; mix thoroughly. Chill completely before serving.
