There is really nothing sacred about the quantities shown. Just try to get a good blend of the ingredients.", "", "2. I often use some of the vinegar from the sour pickles and reduce the cider vinegar accordingly. Add only enough vinegar to barely cover the mixture while it seasons.", "", "3. Ketchup is often added to give color (and a sweeter taste) to the slaw. It is usually added if the amount of tomatoes doesn't balance out well with the size of the head of cabbage.", "", "4.
