Preparation

Step 1

Shred cabbage & onions. Cover with the 1/2 cup sugar. Lightly toss then set aside for about one hour.

Boil vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, mustard, salt, and celery seed; pour over cabbage while hot. Add grated diced pimientos. Add garlic & salad oil. Let set 24 hours; serve cold.

It is quite tart, so add sugar "to taste". Will keep in refrigerator for weeks. The longer in refrigerator, the better.

Cook's notes:

Use sweet yellow onions for best taste.

Vadalia onions are excellent when available.
