Splenda

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. Edrena

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

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.
