24 Hour Cabbage Slaw

From the Kitchen of: Pepper

This keeps well and gets better each day


1	large	Head cabbage -- shredded
1		Onion -- thinly sliced
1	cup	Sugar

Shred cabbage fine, then thinly slice onion.

In a bowl, put one layer cabbage and a layer of onion alternating until all is used.

Cover with 1 cup sugar.

Pour boiling hot dressing over cabbage layers slowly. Do not stir.

Cover and refrigerate at once. Chill 24 hours. When ready to serve, stir well.

HOT DRESSING
- Combine celery seeds, sugar, mustard, salt, and vinegar in saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil. Add oil, stirring, and return to rolling boil.
- Makes about two cups.
  **For Lower Fat, I have found that 1/4 to 3/4 cup canola oil works just as well.
  Red onion makes for a pretty slaw.
  Also, just before serving, I drain the liquid from salad and save it AND IF there is any salad left over I pour liquid back over it for storing in refrigrator.
- Serves 6
