What is Jail Slaw?

 

That's my favorite slaw recipe, courtesy of the Crittenden County Jail, where I used to eat lunch regularly when I was a young reporter covering court cases. It's cabbage, carrots, bell pepper and onion, if you like those in slaw; dressing of 2:1 cider vinegar:sugar, turmeric, white pepper, celery seed, heated to nearly boiling and poured over the veggies. It sits on the counter for three or four hours to marinate, stirring periodically, then goes in the refrigerator, where it lasts approximately forever.

 

This is the best slaw made to go with pulled pork barbecue. Or fried catfish.

And I've decided, since I bought one of somebody's fundraiser Boston butts and pulled it and put it in the freezer last weekend, I'll just take that rather than smoking a pork loin. Easy, and already done.

 

That just leaves beans and slaw to prep. Slaw before I go, beans once I get there. They're easy.

I'm glad you just went through this exercise, @kayb. I've been thinking about what to bring to a weeklong family reunion / campout. I had already decided, for various times during week, on persimmon bread, your Jailhouse slaw and @Jaymes' cornbread salad. I'd forgotten the devilled eggs trick. Now devilled eggs are on the list as well.

No oil?  Would you consider putting the recipe in Recipe Gullet?

Sure. And no, no oil.
