Cole Slaw like Black Bear by pete
My goal here is to make Cole Slaw similar in taste to Black Bear ColeSlaw sold at Shop-Rite grocery stores here in NJ. More specifically, Black Bear has a tangy taste or bite that, for example, Mr Ron's Coleslaw does not. Both are great tasting products, but there's a tad too much sugar in Mr's Ron's brand.
I'm also looking to make this recipe a "reduced carb" cole slaw, but it's not a top priority. That's why I'm using Stevia and just a small amount of sugar. It's high carb otherwise.
Ok, here's what I have so far. The quantity is small because this is just an experiential batch.
Cole Slaw like Black Bear by pete
1.5 cups Cabbage, shredded
1.0 tbsp Carrot, shredded
3.0 tbsp Mayonnaise (Helmans)
1.0 tsp Horseradish
1.0 cube Buttermilk (1 frozen cube = 1oz)
1.0 cube Heavy Whipping cream (1 frozen cube = 1oz)
0.5 tsp White vinegar
1.0 dash White sugar (1 dash = 1/8 tsp)
3.0 drops Liquid Stevia
1.0 pinch Salt (1 pinch = 1/16 tsp)
0.25 tsp Hot Cheyenne pepper, finely ground
3.0 tbsp Reddi-Whip (spray whipcream)

Calories = 360
For a 100 grams/3.5oz serving it's 6.4g carbs, 144 calories
CUBES - I buy my buttermiilk and heavy cream and immediately pour them into standard ice-cube trays and freeze them. Once frozen, I put them in ziplock bags to be used in various recipes. Each cube is 1oz. If I don't freeze them, they usually go bad because most recipes I have only call out for small amounts.
I'm hoping that the Black Bear or Mr Ron's brands are sold in YOUR area so that we are all understanding the flavor profile I'm looking for here.
This recipe has a good taste, but it's not exactly like Black Bear.
Update: I just found the Black Bear ingredients list online.
As you can see, I'm missing Cider vinegar, Onions, and Celery seeds

UPDATE: I made corrections to the macros which previously showed way too many carbs & calories. Should be accurate now.
