                       - chopped fine
  2      c             Cabbage -- shredded
    1/4  c             Salt
  1      qt            Water
    1/2  c             Brown sugar
  2      c             Cider vinegar
  1      tb            Dried mustard powder
    1/8  tb            Turmeric
    1/2  c             Water
    1/4  c             All-purpose flour
  2      ts            Celery seed
  2      ts            Mustard seed

Chop onions and shred cabbage into a large glass or crockery bowl. Do
not use a metal bowl.

Dissolve salt in 1 qt of water and pour over vegetable mix. Cover and
let soak overnight.

In the morning, turn vegetables into a large colander and drain.

In a large pot, dissolve brown sugar in cider vinegar. Mix mustard
powder and turmeric with 1/2 cup water; add flour, mixing to make a
thick paste with no lumps. Add to vinegar-brown sugar mixture; stir
to blend, again making sure there are no lumps.

Add celery and mustard seed and bring to a boil over medium-high
heat, stirring to prevent sticking. The mixture will thicken as it
comes to a boil.

When it boils, add cabbage and onion and continue to boil and stir
for 5 minutes. Mixture is very pungent.

Put in sterile jars, close with sterile lids and put in a boiling
water bath for 15 minutes to seal.

Yield: 1-1/2 Quarts
