I had a request to post my sugar-free sweet creamy coleslaw on the recipe board, so here it is. Served with brisket, pulled pork, and baked beans, it was given the A-OK by honorable husband Robert. And he's a PICKY fella about his coleslaw. Gotta start watching things when doc says "high blood sugar", ya know...

Coleslaw - Sweet, Creamy & Sugar-free
Recipe By : Keri Cathey
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Salads Slaw
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 lb shredded cabbage -- to 1 1/2 lb
--or 1 bag slaw mix
2 carrots -- shredded
1/4 small red onion -- shredded, optional
--Dressing
1/2 cup mayonnaise, light -- to 3/4 cup
11 packets Splenda sweetener
2 Tbs cider vinegar
1/2 tsp tabasco sauce -- Chipotle, optional
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp celery seeds -- optional
Blend dressing ingredients well, and mix with vegetables. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
This recipe originally used 1/2 cup sugar. I had heard many good things about the taste of Splenda sweetener, so I thought I'd give it a shot in this. Since each packet = 2 teaspoons sugar, I ciphered thusly:
1/2 cup sugar = 4/8 cup = 4 x 2 Tbs = 8 Tbs = 8 x 3 tsp = 24 tsp / 2 = 12 packets to equal 1/2 cup sugar. I miscounted and only used 11 packets, but that was PLENTY sweet. Bubba-tested and approved.
