Twenty-Four-Hour Slaw

We Southerners love sweet slaw. Here is a wonderful recipe from The Food, Folklore, and Art of Low-Country Cooking. I have made this for numerous occasions, tailgating, back yard grilling, pulled pork suppers and yes even funeral food. This will keep for a week in the refrigerator.
