I am a California boy and hated coleslaw until I went to the South.
Instead
of mayonnaise they fix it with a sugar and vinegar dressing. Probably
black
strap molasses for the sugar.



Marzetti makes a pretty good cole slaw dressing in a jar. But, stores
never
put it right there with the other salad dressings. It's always off to the
side with the quirky stuff, with names like "Organic Sue's Stone Ground
Poppy Seed Dressing". There's also a dry mix that my ex's mother uses
which
is spectacular. She says the stores keep it in the produce department.
Greenish packet. I think she just adds milk.


Try this "Old-Fashioned Sweet-Sour Cole Slaw" from the Brookville
Hotel (Since 1870) in Brookville, Kansas

1 1/2 pounds shredded green cabbage
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cups sugar
1/3 cup vinegar
1 cup whipping cream

Place shredded cabbage in covered dish in refrigerator for several
hours. Mix ingredients in order giver 30 minutes before serving.
Chill and serve.

I always hated Cole Slaw till I tried this recipe.
