Creamy Coleslaw For Freeze Drying

 This coleslaw recipe comes out very nice just fresh but it works so well freeze dried. Give it a try!

Ingredients:

    1 tablespoon salt
    1 cup water
    2 14oz bags of coleslaw mix

    3/4 cup Real Lemon Juice
    1 teaspoon mustard seeds
    1 teaspoon celery seed
    1 cup sugar

    1 cup of my alternative mayonnaise

mix salt and water and in a large bowl pour over coleslaw mix. Mix well and let sit for 1 hour

While coleslaw is sitting using a saucepan mix together lemon juice, mustard seeds, celery seeds and sugar. Bring mixture to a boil mixing until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside

After coleslaw has set in the brine for 1 hour, drain and rinse very well. Using a salad spinner remove as much water as possible.

In a large bowl combine slaw mixture and dressing mixture. Add alternative mayonnaise to slaw dressing mix. Mix well and freeze until solid

Freeze dry. To reconstitute, sparingly add water until the desired consistency is achieved.

Mayonnaise Alternative For Freeze Drying

 This is a simple recipe that I put together for a mayonnaise alternative. Oil and freeze drying do not go together as oil goes rancid too quickly. This recipe solves that problem

 

 

8 oz softened cream cheese

1 1/2 tsp lemon juice

1 tsp vinegar

1/4 tsp mustard

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup milk

 

Combine ingredients and mix very well
