Quick DIY Artichoke Candle Holder

Artichokes have great texture and color. 5 minute candle holder transformation:

Step 1: Pick a lovely artichoke ($2) and cut off the bottom so it stays upright.
Step 2: Cut across top; carve out inside until you get to the clean interior leaves.
Step 3: Give the artichoke hole a nice lemon juice bath so it doesn't oxidize.
Step 4: Insert a votive or small candle holder and a tealight. Enjoy.
Note: Store in the fridge with a wet paper towel.
