Socie’s Cole Slaw

This is from the Nana Cookbook. It’s an oil and vinegar cole slaw, and it keeps forever! (Well, not really, but it seems like it.)

To 1 large head of cabbage, finely shredded, add 1 or 2 onions finely sliced.  Mix and pour over 1 cup sugar.  Stir.  Let stand while preparing dressing.  Boil 1 cup vinegar, 1 tsp. prepared mustard, 1 tsp. celery seed, and 2 tsp. salt.  When rolling boil, add 1/2 cup cooking oil, bring back to hard boil and pour over cabbage at once.  Stir well.

This slaw will keep for weeks in refrigerator if placed in glass jars (with tight lid) and used as needed.
