How To Make mom's "hot" coleslaw

  • Step 1
    Combine cabbage, carrot and onion in large bowl (preferably one with a cover).
  • Step 2
    Place vinegar, oil, all the sugar, salt, and mustard into saucepan. Bring to a full boil.
  • Step 3
    Pour hot vinegar mixture over cabbage. Toss well (I use a bowl with a lid, and "shake" as my version of tossing).
  • Step 4
    Chill, covered in the fridge. If you give it a toss every day, it will keep for a couple of weeks.
