Super Coleslaw

I've made this family favorite for years - it's a winner! The hot

marinade keeps the coleslaw mixture crisp. For a colorful slaw, use a

mixture of red and green cabbage.

 

Coleslaw Mixture

1 head cabbage (about 3 lbs.)

1 green pepper, cut in chunks

3 carrots (or 12 mini carrots)

2 cloves garlic

3 green onions, cut in chunks

 

Marinade

1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar

1/2 cup sugar (see Note)

3/4 cup oil

1 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

 

Slicer: Discard soft, outer leaves. Cut cabbage into wedges to fit

feed tube. Discard core. Slice, using very light pressure. If too

thick, chop in batches on the Steel Blade, using quick on/off pulses.

Slice green pepper, using medium pressure. Empty into a large bowl.

 

Grater: Use the mini tube if your machine has one. Grate carrots,

using firm pressure. Add to cabbage.

 

Steel Blade: Drop garlic and green onions through feed tube while

machine is running; process until minced. Add to cabbage.

 

Combine ingredients for marinade in a saucepan or microsafe bowl.

Heat until almost boiling (2 to 3 minutes on HIGH in the microwave),

stirring occasionally. Pour hot marinade over coleslaw mixture and

mix well. Refrigerate.

 

Yield: 12 to 16 servings.

 

Note: Keeps about 1 month in the refrigerator. Coleslaw won't keep as

long if sweetener is used instead of sugar. Some sweeteners become

bitter when heated. Splenda is heat-stable and can be used with

excellent results.

 

Broccoli Cole Slaw: Replace cabbage with packaged broccoli slaw, or

shred peeled broccoli stems on the Grater, using firm pressure. Add a

handful of raisins or dried cranberries, if desired.

> Orange Candied Sweet Potatoes (Yams)

 

Just so you know -- although people think sweet potatoes and yams are the

same thing, they are not. In fact, they are not even related. The main

nutrient in sweet potatoes is starch. In yams it's Vitamin A.

they are different species. Thanks for the info. I just copied the

recipe as it was posted to me. I guess the recipe can work with

either, and that is the reason why the yams is offered as an

alternative ingredient.
