Surviving Minnesota!

Of course! Here it is written just as it is on my recipe card from her:
2 lbs cabbage shredded
1 green pepper chopped
3 carrots shredded
3/4 c chopped onion
1 tsp salt
2 cups sugar (I usually cute to 1 3/4 or 1 1/2)
1 tsp mustard
1/2 cup water
1 cup vinegar (I use apple cider)
1 tsp celery seed

Combine cabbage, green pepper, carrots and onion. Let stand 1 hour and then drain. Combine remaining ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, boil 3 mins. Cool. Pour over cabbage mix and let stand 5 min. Stir well. Freeze in jars or plastic freezer boxes (anyone remember these--my mom used to make jam in them). Seal, label and freeze.

and then when you are ready to eat, just let it thaw in the fridge and eat within 5-7 days.

Ugh. I tried to forget about freezer slaw.. my grandma used to make it and poke it down ya for supper in the winter months.

Fresh creamy coleslaw or none i say! (or as us southies call it CO-SLAA)

The texture is ALL wrong. I'd rather take a straight shot of vinager out the bottle.

I just got rid of 8 crammed full grocery bags of milkweed pods. Look at all the seeds you could have had.

Well. You could've sent them to me.
The seeds blew off of mine before i even noticed they were there.

If you want some, I can still pick a box full down in the field and send them to you.

They are a nasty invasive weed that is impossible to get rid of once established. They spread by both roots and seeds. You can't dig deep enough to get all the roots if you try to taker them out that way.

I know. That is how I ended up with them. Someone illegally broadcast the seed along the roadway. They don't understand the concept that it isn't their property and they have no right to scatter seeds wherever they want to.
