From my food preservation group files. Note drying time. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon salt |
1 cup water |
1/2 cabbage, washed & finely shredded |
1 stalk celery, shredded |
1 carrot, shredded |
1/2 green pepper, shredded |
3/4 cup vinegar |
1 teaspoon mustard seeds |
1/2 teaspoon celery seed |
1 cup sugar (or to taste) |
Directions:
1. Dissolve the salt in the water in a large bowl, then soak the cabbage in the
2. salt water for an hour. Add the next 3 ingredients and let them soak another 20 minutes, then drain and rinse thoroughly.
3. Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, mustard seed, celery seed, and sugar in pan and bring it to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
4. Pour the dressing over the rinsed vegetable mixture in the bowl and marinate, covered, for at least 24 hours before dehydrating.
5. Divide the dried slaw into plastic bags (1/3 cup of dried salad is adequate as a side dish for one person).
6. To use: Add an equal amount of water to each portion of salad (1/3 cup of water to 1/3 cup of salad) and allow it to reconstitute for at least half an hour.
