MOM'S COLE SLAW

Today's recipe is Mom's coleslaw which is great! It's fresh, crunchy and sweet, and not soft, soggy or syrupy. It's great tasting coleslaw!

MOM'S COLE SLAW
From Billie Reid


Grate cabbage so that you have about three cups.
  
Sprinkle 3 T.  sugar, then sprinkle 2 T. vinegar.
  
Stir well and taste to see if the proportions seem right.  If it tastes like it has too much vinegar, add a little more sugar to taste.

 If the taste is right, add 1/2 cup mayonnaise and stir again.

      

I notice that when I make coleslaw using the pre-grated cabbage from the grocery, the taste is not as good, and I think it is because the natural juices from the cabbage are missing.  It tastes better when you grate your own.
