| I read on another forum about someone watching a youbtube video on how to can cole slaw. The demonstrator water bathed it. Is that safe? I would assume it doesn't have mayonnaise but I didn't watch the video to see for sure. Are there safe methods/recipes for canning cole slaw? The poster said it was surprisingly good. |

| It is OK to make as long as you feel confident in your recipe source as it is just really pickled cabbage and carrots. No different from making all kinds of pickles as long as your vinegar/water ratio makes a safe product. Jim in So Calif |

| Cole slaw? You're sure it wasn't saurkraut? I can't imagine canned cole slaw. |

| Here is the video link. It isn't a mayo-based dressing it is vinegar-based. It is a personal, made-up recipe so there is no way to know if it is safe or not for long term shelf storage. I would note that it is a small amount of liquid for the very large heads of cabbage used (and she left out the peppers and onions so it would be even more dense if those were added) and she heavily packed the jars which isn't recommended and then processed it in a steam canner for 15 mins. which wouldn't be considered safe either (and she admits to that). Your choice, your risk. Dave |

| Thanks! I suspected that it wasn't tested. I don't use untested recipes and I don't like vinegar either :) |
