Marinated Cole Slaw




1Quart size jar
Cole slaw Mix
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 Red Bell Pepper, chopped
1 jalapeƱo, seeded and chopped
1 Gallic Clove, minced
1 cup water
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
4 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Pepper

Get a clean 1 quart mason jar with a good seal. Fill the Jar up with water and pop it in Microwave for 3 minutes. It will be hot, remove and pour out water.  Chop green onions, red bell pepper, jalapeno, and garlic and place in the bottom of jar. Stuff all but 1 cup of cole slaw mix into jar. Push and stuff it down.
In a small sauce pan, add 1/2 cup water, apple cider, sugar, salt and pepper. Let it come to a boil and remove from heat. Add slowly to the jar with cole slaw. Take a spoon and push down and add the last 1 cup of cole slaw. Now add the last 1/2 cup regular water. Seal tightly***
Turn the jar upside down on your cabinet for 30 minutes and then revert up right for 30 minutes.  Wrap a rag around the jar and roll it back and forth and shake it to help mix all ingredients together. Do not open jar.   Jar should be sealed and place in refrigerator for 4 hours.
 This is better if it marinates in refrigerator for 48 hours.

Great Memories of doing this with my Grandmother. If you do this with a fresh whole head of cabbage, you will need to add one shredded carrot to the the shredded cabbage.

I love this in the summer, so good with hamburgers, hot dogs and Reuben sandwiches.
