Okay, FQs win. It was just middle of the night musing, anyhow.

I don't know if this is exact, but it'll do. The cookbook is definitely that old. It's called Freezer Slaw, but I never froze it.

Freezer Slaw
1 medium head cabbage ---------- 1 cup vinegar
1medium carrot ------------------- 1/4 cup water
1 pepper --------------------------- 2 cups sugar
1 tsp salt -------------------------- 1 tsp mustard seed
------------------------------------- 1 tsp celery seed

Shred cabbage, mix in carrot, pepper and salt. Let stand 15 minutes, then drain off excess moisture. Mix vinegar, water, sugar, celery seed and mustard seed. Boil for one minute, cool. Pour over cabbage and freeze.

I'm sure I added onion. If I made it today, I might use less sugar. This keeps well in the fridge. I recently made it without looking up the recipe. I skipped the green pepper and added an onion - it was good. I do like red peppers better than green.

edit- sorry about the dashes. The computer scrunched it all together when I just left a space.
