Instructions

1
Squeeze the lemon halves into a large bowl of water. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, snap off all of the outer leaves and trim the stem so the artichoke will stand upright. With a small, sharp knife, cut 1/2 inch off the top and peel the base. With a melon baller, scoop out some of the choke to form a cup with a 1/4-inch rim. Drop the artichoke into the lemon water.
