Jean's Country Coleslaw was a staple in our suburban home, and nearly every occasion asked her to bring it. This was handed down to her from her mother Blanche Knight, where she learned to make do growing up in the depression and on a dairy farm in North Eastern Ohio close to Stubenville. The original recipe was made to feed about 20 as it was a Harvesters favorite request for the midday respite.

Steps:
- Cut cabbage into 4 quarter, remove outer dark green leaves. A crisp stalk of celery, washed and strung if needed. Take cabbage against a shredder on the side with the long groove blades, do all quarters but not the center core. Thinly sliced celery, almost 3/4c or more. (Add-in carrots,or shred on same blade as cabbage). Place into a large mixing bowl, and stir it. This can be done hours to 1 day ahead if kept sealed and chilled before adding sauce.
- Sauce can be made ahead as well but not mixed in with cabbage until 1-2 hours prior, with time for slaw to soak in sauce. In a medium bowl or in an empty Mayo jar, Add and fold together the sauce items. Taste before chilling, and make adjustments. This is where celery seed can be added. Jean's caution was "Don't add S&P in it, have it on table."
- When ready to serve set S&P, scallions near by. For added color or festive look sprinkle lightly with paprika.
