Finely shred the cabbage and cut the pimiento into thin strips; combine in a bowl with the chopped sweet pickles. In a saucepan combine the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, paprika, mustard, and salad oil. Heat to the boiling point. In a bowl, mix the eggs with the cream. Slowly stir the hot mixture into the eggs and cream, then return the entire mixture to the pan. Place over low heat and cook stirring constantly, until slightly thickened. Pour, while still hot, over the cabbage mixture. Toss all the ingredients together lightly and serve immediately while still warm. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
