[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] New Recipe Folder for "Pickles and Pickled Foods"

I have created a new folder titled "Pickles and Pickled Foods"
and am in the process of adding recipes as well as filing previously posted recipes to that folder.

Here is a pickle recipe previously posted by "Dovesoaring"... who is missed a great very much.

Take care,

Sweet and Crunchy Deli-Style Pickles - 2g Carbs, 1g Fiber

From: www.splenda.com
For this homemade deli-style condiment, fresh cucumbers are pickled
in vinegar and flavored with fresh ginger, jalapenos and garlic. To
achieve the best flavor and sweetness, refrigerate jarred pickles for
4 to 5 days.

7 pickling cucumbers, quartered
1 cup water
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup SPLENDA No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated
1 Tbsp kosher salt
1 whole clove
1 tsp mustard seed
1 tsp whole black peppercorns
1 tsp peeled, chopped fresh ginger
1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 garlic cloves

Place quartered pickles in a clean 1-quart canning jar. Set aside.
Combine remaining ingredients in a small saucepan. Simmer over low
heat until salt dissolves.

Pour hot pickling juice over pickles to fill jar. Cover tightly with
lid and refrigerate 4 to 5 days before serving. Pickle flavor and
sweetness intensity increase over time.
