Tips When Using Splenda

Place a pan of water in the oven beside a cheesecake to prevent
surface cracks.

Some goods baked with Splenda Granular will not brown the same way as your sugar recipes. If browning is a signal of doneness, test by inserting a wooden pick in the center - if it comes out clean, the
food is done. Check recipes 5 to 10 minutes sooner than sugar
recipes.

Do not cream Splenda Granular with fat when making cakes; instead, mix it with the dry ingredients.

Splenda Granular works wonderfully well in fruit desserts: pies,
crisps, cobblers, poached or baked. Try it in your favourite recipes!

Cocoa powder is lower in fat than chocolate because the cocoa butter is removed in the processing. The great chocolate flovor remains though!

Store Splenda Low-Calorie Sweetener in a cool, dry place away from moisture and heat.

To get the flakiest pastry with Splenda, use solid margarine (not
soft) cold from the refrigerator. The crust will only brown slightly;
overbaking may crack the crust.

Substituting some of the fat with applesauce provides moistness and flovor and lowers the fat content.

Sugar acts as a preservative in many foods. When replacing sugar with Splenda Granular in baked goods, you will get longer storage time if you keep these foods in the refrigerator. Or for longer storage, baked goods prepared with Splenda freeze very successfully.

Using vegetable oil instead of margarine and butter in baking cuts
down on saturated fat in your diet. Look for recipes using vegetable
oil as ingredients are not interchangeable except when recipe calls
for melted butter or margarine, then oil may be used.

Cookies may not spread as they bake; simply flatten to the desired
thickness before baking. A chewy texture can be achieved by leaving brown sugar in recipes and only substituting Splenda Granular for
white sugar.

Christmas pudding may be stored in refrigerator for up to 2 days or
in freezer for longer storage. Defrost for 6 hours or overnight.
Reheat by microwaving at Medium-High for 2-3 minutes or steaming for about 40 minutes or until heated through.
