Sorry, no coffee yet this a.m. I used the Joy of Pickling recipe from page
95. Her less sweet recipe.
When working with Splenda, I found that one cannot replace it for the
sugar cup for cup. And now that I don't use sugar, I'm much more sensitive
to sweetness. I start with half Splenda of the sugar called for. Then add
more to taste, realizing that it needs to be a trifle sweeter because the
veggies will take up the taste as it ages. An Important Fact also is to wait
to add the salt. I seem to need about half the salt called for. Salt is only
for flavoring in most pickles and Splenda *is not* sugar. The handshake is
not the same.
How's that?
