Southern-Style Refrigerator Slaw

Serves 12 generously.

• 1 large head cabbage (about 5 lb.)

• 1 large yellow onion (for 1 c. chopped)

• 1 c. apple-cider vinegar

• 1 c. sugar

• 1 (6-oz.) can low-sodium V-8

• 1 tsp. salt

• 1 tsp. celery seed

Directions

Wash and remove the outer leaves of the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into eighths and remove the core. Set aside. Peel the onion and cut it into eighths. Using a food processor fitted with the steel blade attachment, process the cabbage and onion, in manageable batches, until chopped finely.

Scrape the cabbage and onion into a large container with a tight-fitting lid. Set aside.

In a 1-quart or larger saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, V-8, salt and celery seed. Bring to a boil, and stir until the sugar is melted.

Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the cabbage and toss to coat well. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 4 hours.
