Lt. Blender's Wine Freezer, Strawberry, 9.7-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 3)

While we were visiting Pigeon Forge, TN we went to the Apple Barn Winery, and they used these for mixing with the wine they made and sold there. I have to say it made the wine taste a lot better than it did without it. I personally am not a wine drinker, but when I tasted the wine mixed with these mixers I was alittle hooked. It gives the wine a nice slushy texture, and it gives the wine a nice strawberry flavoring without over powering the taste. I really liked the addition that this mixers gave to the wine. I have purchased several of these and would love to try other flavors that they have available. I would also suggest the peach flavor

for wine, it is also good.

I have not tried the Margarita yet but plan to do so in the future. These are soooo good that it has got me to be a somewhat of a wine drinker now, which I have never been before. If you would like alittle bit of a twist to your wine then I would suggest trying these, I don't think you will be disappointed. They are cheap and very tasty.

Amazon has the cheapest prices on these, that I have found thus far. The company sells them on their website, but by the time you pay for shipping its a lot more expensive than purchasing it here on Amazon.

I have never really liked wine, however, these freezies make the wine taste so much better! They come in great flavors also.

What a wonderful idea these pouches contain the dry ingredients for a wonderful sangria, just add you favorite wine and water, and toss it in the freezer. In a short period of time, the mixture freezes into a cold and slushy and thoroughly delicious drink. Each pouch makes a half-gallon, about 16 servings (or better yet, make it 12 or less servings!).

This is a really great idea. The pouches are dead easy to take along dry, and still quite convenient when filled and ready to drink. Try it, you'll like it!

Reese Quartered Artichoke Hearts, 14-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)

At my local grocery store, these cans sell for almost $3 each, so I was excited by this bargain. However, the price didn't totally decide me on buying them, as I love artichoke hearts.

These are excellent. They're quartered, so they're much easier to use in recipes, etc. I like to chop them up even more and add them to salads, pasta sauces, pizza toppings, etc.

They are NOT marinated, so don't expect all sorts of olive oil and vinegar tastes. These are a mite salty, so rinse them if you're not a huge salt lover (I am not one myself, so I rinse pretty diligently).

My fave way to use them:

I heat up some olive oil in a skillet and add minced garlic. Once the garlic is beginning to brown slightly, I add 2 cups of chopped tomatoes, 1 cup of the chopped artichokes, some chopped black olives, and whatever Italian seasonings light my fire that day. I cook this down until the tomatoes are soft, then add the mix to some whole wheat pasta and toss. I sprinkle some fresh parmesan, and voila! Sometimes, I add chopped chicken breast to the mix. Sometimes I use chopped sweet Italian sausage. Delicious!

Anyway, these are an incredible bargain, and you can't go wrong. Just using the artichoke hearts is enough to go through several cans.

Enjoy!

Ick! I planned to add two cans of quartered artichoke hearts to a fancy tortellini and shrimp salad I am bringing to a party in a few hours. What a bummer to open the can and find limp, pale yellow (brown in some spots) soggy artichoke hearts, all with leaves and a portion of the artichoke bottom so tough I couldn't bite through them. Horrible. I threw them out, and will have to carry my dish to the party sans artichoke hearts.

Recommend buying when Amazon has a special offer because these are very expensive. But, the product itself is great. I like the quartered ones better because they seem to put the tender pieces in there. The whole ones have a lot of parts that you can't really eat because they are the tougher outside leaves.

I eat them with a little season salt or mayo.

UPDATE 8/9/2010

A lot can happen in just a couple months, the last two cases of these I have ordered from Amazon have been horrible. I've had whole artichoke leaves in several cans (not the small soft leaves near the heart, I'm talking the big tough artichoke leaves). Brown spots over many of the artichokes. Very poor quality.

I contacted Amazon both times, the first time they replaced the case and the quality was much better. The second time I asked them for a refund because two times in a couple months is not acceptable. I also contacted Reese direcly who doubted me and asked me to "prove it" by sending them two cans at my expense. I told them I'd gladly send them all the cans at their expense, but they would not do that. My impression of Reese has changed very much and I will no longer buy their products.

ORIGINAL REVIEW I've tried just about every brand out there and Reese, by far, is the best! I love that you can buy them already quartered, great for tossing into salads.

They are always good quality, not too firm, not too soft. Consistent taste, never a bad one in any can. Best price on Amazon too, about $1 cheaper per can then my local grocery store.

Amazon's price allows me to enjoy this product on my salad much more often than I could have afforded it, when purchased from my local grocery store.
