Roland Foods Whole Extra Large Artichoke Hearts, 30-40 Count, 5 Lb 8 Oz Can

We all know how expensive artichoke hearts are yet we have favorite recipes or dips that call for them. I always kept a few small cans on hand. When I saw this on a Managers Special, I did some calculations and thought I would try them in bulk and break down the large can into managable portions that I generally use for my recipes. I divided the can up, put the portions in zip lock freezer bags and into the freezer. I wondered how they would be when defrosted, because I still wanted the firm texture that they have. I was pleased to find that freezing the smaller bags did not affect the texture or taste in my recipes. So now I pay a little more in the beginning but get so much more for my money and always have them on hand when I need them. I now have them on subscribe and save and they just feep rolling in whenever I am getting low. Roland has good products and I always enjoy their specials!

I open & divide artichokes into freezer bags with some liquid for the can in each bag. Put them on a cookie sheet & freeze them flat. I've had 1 package in the freeze for a year and still good.
