Dear Laura: Years ago, I clipped and used a recipe for Freezer Slaw. I’d like to make it again this summer but have lost the recipe. It’s a delicious and easy way to preserve extra cabbage from the garden in the fall.

Shredded cabbage, green and red peppers and carrots are mixed together in a large bowl. A sweet and sour dressing containing vinegar, sugar and celery seed is added and the mix is packaged in freezer bags. – Janet

Preparation

Step 1

Shred cabbage and sprinkle with 1 tsp salt. Mix well and let stand for 1 hour while making dressing.

To make the dressing, bring to a boil the vinegar, water, sugar, mustard seed and celery seed. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool.

Squeeze excess moisture from cabbage. Mix in other vegetables. Pour cooled dressing over the slaw. Mix and put in freezer containers and freeze.
