1 2/3 Tbsp. tomato paste
10 oz. Dr Pepper
¼ cup apple cider vinegar

In large bowl combine cabbage, carrots, green onion, parsley and apples. Pour in dressing and toss until well blended. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Mix slaw just prior to serving.
For Dr Pepper barbecue sauce: In heavy saucepan, sweat onions and minced garlic in oil until translucent for about 10 minutes. Add remaining sauce ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes. Turn heat to low and continue cooking until sauce begins to thicken, 20-30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes. Puree with blender or immersion blender. Add water for consistency if needed.
