Can this recipe be altered for Diabetics? Can Splenda or Stevia replace the sugar?

Hi Matermark,

Although the sugar is not required for the preservation of the pickles, it does contribute to the texture and leaving it out will lessen the final quality. The pickles may shrivel because the sugar helps to plump them up through osmosis and the Splenda (which I consider to be an unhealthy choice) will not contribute to that process.

You could try Stevia or adding no sugar at all but the whole idea of Bread and Butter pickles is their sweetness, so your pickles would be sour! Why not try sour pickles or dill pickles instead?
