Substituting Splenda for sugar in Pike pickling reciepe ?

[mwal]

I made a batch of pickled pike that turned out great.

24 hours in salt water brine

24 hours in white vinegar

boil 3 1/2 cups sugar in 3 1/2 cups of vinegar cool

pour over layered onions and pike with table spoon of pickling spices wait 10 days enjoy.

I really like the flavor but I am also diabetic has anyone ever substituted splenda or truvia for the sugar? In vinegar pickling the sugar is for flavor not preservation so I assume it should work just wondering if anyone has tried it? Also posted in cooking section

I usually use about 1/3 the amount of sugar called for with the rest Splenda .....Works great but still keeps the sugar down.

Not sure about the sugar content mwal, but I personally would add more silver satin wine and less sugar.

One way or another you will get pickled.
