Pizza Making Tips
Garlic

Garlic can also be found in jars, in whole clove, minced, crushed and roasted varieties. Garlic is gaining in popularity and new garlic products are finding their way onto supermarket shelves.

Pizza Making Tips
Artichoke Hearts

Artichoke hearts are the core of the artichoke after the outer leaves and tough stem has been trimmed away. The hearts can be cut from raw artichokes but are more commonly purchased in jars along with other canned and preserved vegetables.
