   6      cups          To 8 cups cabbage -- shredded
   1      cup           Carrot -- shredded
     1/2  cup           Green pepper -- chopped optl
     1/4  cup           To 1/3 cup sugar
     1/2  teaspoon      Unflavored gelatin
     1/4  cup           Cider vinegar
   2      tablespoons   Cold water
     1/3  cup           Salad oil
   1      teaspoon      Celery seed
     1/4  teaspoon      Salt
     1/8  teaspoon      Pepper
     1/4  cup           Dairy sour cream

1.  In a large bowl, toss together the cabbage, carrot and, if desired, chopped pepper.  Set aside.

 2.  In a small saucepan, stir together the sugar and gelatin. Add the vinegar and water.
 Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and cool.

 3.  Pour the cooled dressing into a blender container.
 Add the salad oil, celery seed, salt and pepper; cover and blend well.
 Add the sour cream and blend just until combined.

 4. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat.
 Before serving, cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

 Tips:  For a more colorful salad, try using a mixture of red and green cabbage
 and/or red, green and yellow sweet pepper.

 There is no need to soften the gelatin in this recipe because mixing
 it with the sugar will ensure that the gelatin wil not clump when the water is added.

 This coleslaw is a perfect dish to take along on a picnic,
 but make sure that you keep it on ice in your cooler so that it doesn't spoil.
