As I wrote in the dinner thread, would probably have never made this if I hadn't had the finished dish first. Even though you add the dressing boiling hot, the slaw is still nice and crunchy. It has a kind of sweet/sour taste. I usually use the 1/2 red and white cabbage just for the color.

1 medium cabbage, shredded OR 1/2 red cabbage + 1/2 white cabbage
OR 1-1/2 to 2 bags ready to use coleslaw mix
1 medium large onion, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
4-5 carots, grated
One 8-oz jar chopped pimientos, drained
1 cup sugar, reserve 2 tblsp
1 cup cooking oil
1 cup vinegar
2 tblsp salt
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp celery seed

In large bowl, mix cabbage, onion, bell pepper, pimientos and 2 Tbsp sugar.

In saucepan, combine remainder of sugar, oil, vinegar, salt, dry mustard and
celery seed. Bring to a boil stirring frequently. Pour hot mixture over cabbage
mixture and mix well. Let cool, cover and chill for at least 8 hours, but preferably 24 hours. Good for up to 10 days.
