A touch of Vermont maple syrup infused traditional coleslaw with a unique, unexpected sweetness. Try this recipe with pulled pork sandwiches on a summer night. It’s also a great addition to picnics, grilled ribs, hamburgers, or barbequed chicken.–Diane Rossen Worthington
LC Customized Coleslaw Note
If you’d rather not rely on a bag of packaged slaw mix, simply shred several cups of cabbage and a cup or so of carrots. For added intrigue, julienne a Granny Smith or chop some raw snow peas into matchsticks and toss them into the mix.
