Pickled Grapes - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb seedless grapes (red or green, or a combination)
    1 cup white vinegar
    1 cup Splenda granular (sugar substitute)
    1 1/2 teaspoons mustard seeds
    1/2 teaspoon coriander seed
    1 teaspoon peppercorn
    2 1/2 inches cinnamon sticks
    2 allspice berries
    1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Preparation
    Rinse & dry grapes, and carefully remove all stems. Using a sharp paring knife, trim away the stem end of the grape (or 'belly button'). Put the grapes into a medium bowl, and set aside (I like to use a 1qt glass Pyrex measuring cup).
    In a medium saucepan, combine remaining ingredients, except for the Splenda (but if you're using sugar, add it now). Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat. If using Splenda, remove from heat and add it now, stirring until dissolved. Pour mixture over the grapes; stir to combine. Cover, and set aside to cool at room temperature.
    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap (or pour grapes & brine into jars with tight fitting lids); chill at least 8hrs or overnight. Serve cold.
