Cole Slaw Poem

Sing a song of cole slaw
A platter full of greens

EMAIL NOTE: Hi, You left out a step for the 9-day Coleslaw that has celery seed in the recipe (there are two, I think, with the same name).
Anyway - the 9-Day recipe leaves out a critical step. You need to mix the 2 cups of sugar in with the cabbage and onion. THEN you mix the other ingredients, boil, and pour over the Cabbage/onion/Sugar mixture.
I am 100% sure about mixing the 2 cups of sugar into the cabbage. This helps to "wilt" it. But the true indication is that the recipe calls for Cabbage, Onion, 2 cups of sugar, Oil, salt celery seed and 2 Tablespoons Sugar. Indicating that it is a two step process b/c sugar was called for twice.
I have had this recipe for years and made the dish often - then LOST it!! I was SO thrilled to find it on your site - so thanks a ton!! I made it last night and remembered to wilt the cabbage with the sugar. It turned out perfectly, just like I remember. Mary
