Splenda Sucralose Sweet Pickle Relish Recipes

BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLES

Steps:

• To prepare for water-bath canning:
• Wash 3 pint jars and lids in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water.
• Fill canning pot half full of water; add jars and water to cover. Bring water to a boil, reduce heat and simmer.
• Place lids in water to cover in a small saucepan; bring water to a simmer. Simmer until ready to use.
• Remove and drain jars and lids, one at a time, as needed for filling.
• To make the pickles:
• Place cucumbers and onions in a glass bowl. Sprinkle with the salt and toss to combine. Let stand at room temperature 2 hours. Drain vegetables, rinse, and drain again. Blot dry using paper towels.
• In a large, heavy stock pot, combine vinegar, Splenda Sweetener, mustard seeds, celery seeds, turmeric, and cloves. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add cucumbers and onions and return to a boil.
• To can the pickles:
• Pack hot vegetables immediately into prepared jars using a slotted spoon, leaving ½" of headspace at top of jars. Ladle pickling liquid into jars, leaving ½" of headspace.
• Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with 2-piece lids; tighten bands.
• Place jars on rack in canning pot. (Water must cover jars by at least 1"; add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to a gentle boil.
• Process for 15 minutes. Remove jars and place upright on a towel to cool completely.
• After jars cool, check seals by pressing center of lid with finger. (If lid springs back, lid is not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)
• Store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Once opened, store refrigerated and use within 2 weeks.

SWEET AND CRUNCHY DELI-STYLE PICKLES

Steps:

• Place cucumber spears in a clean 1-quart canning jar.
• In a saucepan, combine remaining ingredients. Simmer until sweetener and salt dissolve.
• Pour warm brine over cucumbers to fill jar.
• Cover and refrigerate for 4-5 days before serving. Pickle flavor deepens over time.

• Cover with cold water and let stand for 2 hours.
• Drain vegetables well.
• In a large pot, combine Splenda, vinegar and pickling spices.
• Bring to a boil.
• Add vegetables to the pot, and adding, if necessary, just enough water to cover vegetables.
• Bring back to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.

SWEET PICKLE RELISH

Steps:

• Combine cucumbers, onions, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper in a large bowl; add salt and pour in enough cold water to cover. Allow to soak for 2 hours. Thoroughly drain in a colander.
• Pour vinegar into a large, heavy stainless steel pot; add celery seed and mustard seed. Stir sugar into mixture and bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the drained vegetable mixture and return to a boil, about 10 minutes. Remove pot from heat.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack relish into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

SWEET PICKLES WITH SPLENDA RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix together the ingredients and bring to a boil either on the stove or in the microwave on HIGH for about 6 minutes, stirring after 3 minutes. Let cool. OR boil only the first 3 ingredients for specified time and when cool, stir in Splenda until dissolved. Rince cucumbers thoroughly to remove as much of the pickling salt as possible, using warm then cold rinsing waters. Pack in jars or plastic containers. Pour the brine over the slices(don't forget to leave 1/4-1/2" headroom for freezing)and seal. Freeze. For best taste, these pickles must be frozen before eating.Once frozen, these pickles can be thawed and used immediately and are always crunchy.MAKES ABOUT 5 CUPS.
