1         head  red cabbage — shredded
2                      onions — shredded
3/4         cup  sugar
1         teaspoon  celery seed
1         teaspoon  sugar
1         teaspoon  dry mustard
1 1/2       teaspoons  salt
1             cup  vinegar

Pour 3/4 cup sugar over cabbage and  onion and toss.

Bring celery seeds and remaining ingredients to a  boil.  Pour over
cabbage and onions.  Let sit for 24 hours  before serving.

We call this Tavern Slaw.  The only difference is we use regular  cabbage and
layer the cabbage & onions. Pour the dressing over the top and  DO NOT mix
for 24 hours.  Left over slaw will keep for a LONG time  hence the name.  We did
use it in our bar.  If we tried to add other  vegetables like green pepper
the slaw would become soggy within 2  days.
