Have any of you made pickles or zuccini bread with Spenda?

Yup - made [very] sweet mixed vegetable pickles (cauliflower,
celery, carrot, onion, peppers, zucchini), canned in the
boiling water bath. The recipe called for 3 cups of sugar in
the batch. I used 1 cup of Splenda (may God bless its
makers). It still tasted too sweet to me. I've also made
not-so-sweet sugar snap peas with a dab of Splenda for the
sugar (about 1/2 the sugar measure), which was pretty good,
this was not canned but fridged. Splenda Inc. says you can
replace it 1 to 1 for regular sugar, but I'd start with 1 to 3
and taste test. I haven't made bread with it tho.

Splenda "tastes" sweeter, at least to me so use caution.

I have made both zucchini bread and banana bread with Splenda with very
good results. There are some special instructions for using Splenda when
baking (which you can find on the Splenda website (
www.splenda.com)or
which they'll mail to you if you call their customer service center at

I guess I must be allergic to the stuff, just threw over half a box out.
Gave me the worst stomach ache when I use it and other gastric upsets.
Also, too sweet, left an after taste in my mouth for many hours.

oh well...

I also found that to be true in candies sweetened with it, but the couple
of times I've baked with it I had no problem.
