I don't cook cabbage. Some of my family can't eat it cooked. I make freezer slaw. 1 head cabbage, carrots, and green pepper. Shred and sprinkle with salt. Let set one hour. Dressing is 2 cups sugar ( I used Splenda as I'm not supposed to have sugar and it works well.) 1 cup vinegar, 1 teaspoon celery seed and 1 teaspoon mustard see. Boil 1 minute and cool. Drain cabbage mixture. Pour on dressing. Store in refrigerator. Mine never makes it to the freezer, as we eat on it until it's gone.
