    Cutting up pumpkins

    Just a tip to keep that special pumpkin looking great for our FUNDRAISER this Saturday, 11/1....Good luck!


    After you have carved the jack-o-lantern design into your pumpkin, coat the cut edges and the inside of the pumpkin with petroleum jelly. Good old Vaseline will help seal in the moisture of the pumpkin and extend the life of your jack-o-lantern. Vegetable oil can be used instead of Vaseline, or spray the inside of the pumpkin with hair spray. Either of the three will seal in moisture and keep your pumpkin fresh till Halloween.

    To keep a painted or decorated jack-o-lantern hydrated, mist the pumpkin with water daily. Cover the jack-o-lantern with a damp towel when it's not on display or place the jack-o-lantern inside a plastic trash bag and put it in your refrigerator. Doing any or all of these things will keep your pumpkin hydrated and extend the life of the jack-o-lantern you worked so hard to create

    A battery operated faux candle inside your jack-o-lantern will keep the pumpkin fresh looking longer than a regular candle or tea light. A battery operated faux candle does not produce heat, they are also safer than a candle, no flame inside your jack-o-lantern, no fire hazard.

    If you must use a candle in your jack-o-lantern, sprinkle a little nutmeg or cinnamon on the underside of the pumpkin top. When the candle flame warms the top of the pumpkin, the nutmeg or cinnamon will release a nice fragrance. But when using a real candle, you must diligently hydrate your pumpkin with some of the above mentioned tips, or your jack-o-lantern will not survive till Halloween
