Private Notes

My Mother always used confectioners sugar rather than granulated. It avoids the grainy texture!
I shred the veggies rather than chop them, leave out the celery/caraway seed, and use less salt and mayo. Then it winds up just like my mom used to make--delicious. Heating the sugar/vinegar mixture is crucial to good flavor.
Lois' tip about powdered sugar was spot on! Worked great!
Substituted sucralose for the sugar. No need to heat, because it dissolves easily. Best cole slaw recipe I’ve found. Fills a cole slaw sized hole in my life. Looking forward to making it again and again.
I followed the recipe, and heated the apple cider vinegar and sugar until fully melted. I used white sesame seeds instead of caraway or celery seeds. Used very little salt and a moderate amount of mayonnaise. It is delicious.
Made a half recipe with Kewpie mayo and sherry vinegar. Could have used slightly less mayo but still excellent. This is now the ‘go to’ recipe for summer parties.
