A cole slaw recipe made with fresh garden cabbage, sugar, vinegar, and water. It is seasoned with celery and mustard seed.

Serve this cabbage recipe as part of a summer or fall brunch menu or as a side dish for dinner.

This old-fashioned classic recipe for cole slaw came from my grandmother's recipe collection and has been around for years.

It tastes just like you remember. Just a little bit sweet, just a little bit sour.

This is a quick and easy cabbage recipe that needs only about 15 minutes prep time.

You can make a large batch of it, save some out to eat right away and freeze the rest of it for enjoying in the winter months.
