  1. Pluck your artichokes from the stalks just before they come to their full growth, which will draw out all the strings from the bottom.
  2. Boil them till you can easily take off the leaves.
  3. Lay the bottoms on tin and set them in a cool oven.
  4. Repeat this till they are dry, which you may know by holding them up against the light, when, if they are dry enough, they will appear transparent.
  5. Put them into paper bags, hang them up in a dry place, and they will keep good the greatest part, if not the whole year.

To dry Artichoke Bottoms. PLUCK your artichokes from the stalks just before they come to their full growth, which will draw out all the strings from the bottom. Boil them till you can easily take off the leaves; then lay the bottoms on tin and set them in a cool oven. Repeat this till they are dry, which you may know by holding them up against the light, when, if they are dry enough, they will appear transparent. Put them into paper bags, hang them up in a dry place, and they will keep good the greatest part, if not the whole year.
