Ingredients:

Serving

4 quarts water
2 tsp salt
6 tbsp lemon juice or 6 tbsp vinegar
2 -3 tbsp olive oil (or more to taste)
1 -2 bay leaf (optional)
12 whole peppercorns
4 large artichokes (or 6 medium)

Directions:

Trim stem of artichokes at the base.
Remove any tough or discolored bottom leaves.
Cut off approximately 1-inch of the top leaves, and trim remaining tips from leaves (I use scissors).
Rub the base and all cut parts with lemon juice.
Using fingers, open up the center of artichokes.
With a sturdy spoon remove and discard the fuzzy choke.
(I omit this step at this point and do it after cooking) Combine all ingredients, except artichokes, and bring to a boil.
Add artichokes, and partially cover and return to a boil.
Cook until the stem end is easily pierced with a fork.
Allow about 30 minutes for medium and 40 minutes for large artichokes.
Remove from liquid and drain upside down.
Serve with melted butter or horseradish sauce, or they may be stuffed.
NOTE#1: Artichokes may be cooked ahead and re-heated by putting in simmering water for 10 minutes.
They will keep several days in the refrigerator.
NOTE#2: Use an enamel or stainless steel pan for cooking.
Do not use aluminum utensils.
