Note: This recipe makes three jack-o-lanterns, but adjust the recipe to make more if you’d like.  

Here’s everything you need to make these cute orange fruit-filled jack-o-lanterns.   
  

First, remove the top of your orange “jack-o-lantern.”

Remove the inside of the orange with a small spoon. 

Once the orange is empty, use a small knife to cut out your jack-o-lantern face! Be creative. 

Slice the very top of three strawberries –the green “leaves.” Use this as a garnish on top of your orange jack-o-lantern! You can secure it with a toothpick or a dab of honey.

Evenly distribute the blackberries, blueberries, and cut strawberries into each jack-o-lantern. Your family, friends, and especially children will love these friendly Halloween jack-o-lantern treats!
