We had a TON of really great cooks in our family when I was growing up. My Aunt Lil (far right) was the queen of fried fish, popcorn balls and apple pan pie. A very close second was my cousin, Andrea (center) who was equally as famous for her brownies and cole slaw. Here's her cole slaw recipe:
1 medium head cabbage - shredded
2 carrots - grated
Sprinkle with 1/2 cup sugar
DRESSING:
1 cup cider vinegar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. celery seed
1 tsp. prepared mustard
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 cup salad oil
1 cup sugar
Combine dressing ingredients and boil three minutes. Add to cabbage mixture, cover and let stand overnight in the fridge. This salad will keep crisp for a VERY long time.
