Chop onions and shred cabbage into a large glass bowl (do not use a metal bowl). Dissolve 1/4 cup of salt in 1 quart of water. Pour over vegetables. Cover and soak overnight. In the morning, drain the vegetables in a large colander.
In a large kettle, dissolve brown sugar and cider vinegar.
Mix dry mustard and turmeric with 1/2 cup of water. Add flour to create a smooth, thick paste. Add to vinegar mixture, whisk to blend until smooth. Add celery seeds and mustard seeds.
Bring the entire mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent the mixture from sticking.
When mixture has thickened, add cabbage and red bell pepper. Continue to boil for 5 minutes.
Place mixture in sterile jars and close with sterile lids. Immerse jars in boiling water bath for 15 minutes. Remove carefully from boiling water and place on cooling racks or a heavy towel until cooled and jars have sealed.
