BEST EVER SWEET PICKLES
I pack away homegrown cucumbers every summer. This recipe is based on the pickled veggies in Brown Eggs and Jam Jars by Aimee Wimbush-Bourque, but I've made it less mustardy and more garlicky to fit my family's tastes. This method keeps them incredibly, refreshingly crunchy. -Ellie Martin Cliffe, Taste of Home Digital Deputy Editor

SPLENDA/SUCRALOSE SWEET PICKLE RELISH
At my house, we needed to take the sugar out of our diet. I wanted to find a suitable sweet pickle relish that would suit my pre-diabetic hubby. Well, I think I found it! The first time I made it, I ate some, while it was still warm, on some crackers. I suppose that green bell peppers would work, but I used a combination of yellow, orange and red peppers for the eye appeal. Yummy!

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. NOTE: FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT NEED TO USE SWEETNER, REPLACE IT WITH SAME AMOUNT OF WHITE SUGAR(INSTANT DISSOLVING IF U CAN FIND IT)
Tips:
- Use ripe cucumbers: Ripe cucumbers are sweeter and have a better flavor than unripe cucumbers.
- Peel the cucumbers thinly: This will help the cucumbers absorb the pickling liquid more evenly.
- Use a variety of spices: Different spices will give your pickles a unique flavor. Some popular spices to use include mustard seeds, celery seeds, dill seeds, and garlic.
- Make sure the pickling liquid is completely covering the cucumbers: This will ensure that the cucumbers are evenly pickled.
- Let the pickles rest for at least 24 hours before eating: This will give the flavors time to develop.
Conclusion:
Sweet pickles are a delicious and versatile snack or condiment. They can be enjoyed on their own, or used to add flavor to salads, sandwiches, and other dishes.
