In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, water, cider vinegar, celery seed and mustard seed. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar. Once the sugar has dissolved, let the mixture boil for one minute. Remove the saucepan from the heat and set the dressing aside to cool slightly.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Drain the cabbage<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2073768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Freezer-Slaw_TOHD24_97842_AlejandroMonfort_4.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Freezer Slaw Tohd24 97842 Alejandromonfort 4\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Alejandro Monfort for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Check the cabbage for excess liquid after one hour. If necessary, drain off any liquid that has accumulated at the bottom of the bowl. Add the chopped red peppers and shredded carrots to the drained cabbage and toss to combine.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Dress the slaw<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2073769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Freezer-Slaw_TOHD24_97842_AlejandroMonfort_5.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Freezer Slaw Tohd24 97842 Alejandromonfort 5\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Alejandro Monfort for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Pour the slightly cooled dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything together until the cabbage, peppers and carrots are evenly coated. Allow the slaw to cool completely before transferring it to freezer containers. Cover and freeze for up to three months. To serve, thaw the slaw overnight in the refrigerator and stir before serving.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2073771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Freezer-Slaw_TOHD24_97842_AlejandroMonfort_7.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Freezer Slaw Tohd24 97842 Alejandromonfort 7\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Alejandro Monfort for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Freezer Slaw Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Swap the cabbage:<\/b> Use a mix of green and purple cabbage for a colorful twist and extra texture.<\/li>\n<li><b>Use a different vinegar:<\/b> Try rice vinegar or white wine vinegar for a milder and less tangy dressing.<\/li>\n<li><b>Spice it up:<\/b> Include a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to give the slaw a subtle kick.<\/li>\n<li><b>Experiment with spices:<\/b> Add 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric or coriander for an earthy, warm flavor twist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Freezer Slaw<\/h2>\n<p>The best way to store freezer slaw is to transfer it into an airtight freezer-safe container after it has cooled completely. Be sure to leave a little space at the top of each container to allow for expansion as it freezes. The slaw will keep well in the freezer for up to three months. Simply thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and give it a quick stir before serving when you&#8217;re ready to serve.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make freezer slaw ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, freezer slaw is perfect for making ahead of time. Since it can be stored in the freezer for up to three months, you can prepare it well in advance. Just thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and stir well before serving.<\/p>\n<h2>Freezer Slaw Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2073772\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Freezer-Slaw_TOHD24_97842_AlejandroMonfort_8.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Freezer Slaw Tohd24 97842 Alejandromonfort 8\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Alejandro Monfort for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can I freeze slaw with mayonnaise or creamy dressing?<\/h3>\n<p>No, mayonnaise-based slaws do not freeze well because the mayonnaise tends to separate and become watery once thawed. Freezer slaw works best with vinegar-based dressings like the one used in this recipe, which helps preserve the texture and flavor of the cabbage.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does freezer slaw last in the fridge after thawing?<\/h3>\n<p>Once thawed, freezer slaw can be stored in the refrigerator for three to five days. Be sure to keep it in an airtight container to maintain freshness and give it a good stir before serving to redistribute the dressing.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I keep the slaw from getting soggy after freezing?<\/h3>\n<p>Be sure to drain as much liquid from the cabbage as possible after salting it to keep the slaw from getting soggy. Also, cool the dressing before mixing it with the cabbage to help maintain the crispness of the vegetables.<\/p>\n<h3>What are some dishes that pair well with freezer slaw?<\/h3>\n<p>Freezer slaw adds a crisp and tangy contrast to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/slow-cooker-pulled-pork-sandwiches\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/slow-cooker-pulled-pork-sandwiches\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pulled pork<\/a>, making it even more flavorful. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/kentucky-grilled-chicken\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/kentucky-grilled-chicken\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Grilled chicken<\/a> is another good option, as the slaw provides a light and refreshing side.
