I get a slaw at Ralph's BBQ in Weldon NC and love it. I can't seem to find a recipe that replicates it accurately. Anybody know how to make a true NC style slaw?

    Couple of variations, did yours have any mustard or mayo or will this help?

    Slaw, Coleslaw, Yadkin County North Carolina


    INGREDIENTS:
    3 lbs cabbage
    1 large red pepper
    1 large green pepper
    1/2 Tbs celery seed
    1 cup vinegar
    3/4 cup sugar
    salt to taste




    Procedure:
    1 Preparation: Heat sugar and vinegar until sugar dissolves. Let the mixture get cold, preferably by refrigeration. Grate cabbage, add celery seed, salt and peppers cut up fine. Mix and pour cold mixture over cabbage. Thoroughly mix all ingredients and put in glass containers. Store in refrigerator to keep it cold. Let sit a minimum of 24 hours before serving. Slaw will keep for months.


    Servings: 1

    Here's one from Elder Ward.
    I only use 2-3 Tablespoons of sugar though.

    Hey, Jerry. Haven't been to Ralph's in several years and honestly don't remember his slaw. If it's anything like KFC slaw, I have a great clone for that.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Hi Jerry..don't really have a recipe...but I'll try. It also just depends on how much you want.

    1 head cabbage
    green or red bell pepper
    can stewed tomatoes crushed
    apple cidar vinegar
    warm water
    salt
    pepper
    sugar

    using food processor, chop your cabbage and bell pepper. Add crushed tomatoes...using empty can, about 3/4 full of vinegar and equal amounts of warm water. Salt and pepper and enough sugar to counteract acid.
    This can be refrigerated for weeks...and is best served at room temp.

    Sorry for the inconsistancy...but I am from the south.
    Good luck...
