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.

Sweet and Crunchy Deli-Style Pickles

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

1. Place quartered pickles in a clean 1-quart canning jar. Set aside.
2. Combine remaining ingredients in a small saucepan. Simmer over low heat until salt dissolves.
3. 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.
