If you can find a recipe for the beans using sugar you can substitute
Splenda teaspoon for teaspoon. I don't know about golden syrup, haven't
even seen any since we came home from the Middle East twenty-three years
ago.

Another suggestion would be to blend in your ingredients in small
batches until you get the taste you want then go for larger amounts.
Freezing would be your only option if you don't have a pressure canner.

HTH.
