- Squeeze lemon halves into a large bowl of cool water and add in lemon to bowl.
- Working with 1 artichoke at a time, bend back and snap off tough outer leaves.
- With a sharp knife, slice off dark green pointed tip of artichoke. Trim end of stem and use a vegetable peeler to peel outer layer of stem. Use peeler to remove any dark green leaf bases which may surround top of stem. Quarter artichoke lengthwise, leaving a small part of stem attached to each piece. Slide a small, sharp knife under the fuzzy choke and cut toward leaf tips to remove.
- Slice cleaned quarters into 1/4 inch-thick wedges and drop into bowl of cool lemon water. Repeat with remaining artichokes. Set aside.
