Hold the fruit (lemon, line, orange, grapefruit) in a vertical position (one of the ends, be it the stem or blossom end) on a cutting board. Hold a knife perpendicular to the board, about 1/2 inch into one side, but not all the way to the center. That's a cheek. There are at 4 of them on smaller fruits such as lemons, Meyer lemons, limes, tangerines; and more on grapefruits and pomelos.
