Orange Fruit-Filled Jack-o-Lanterns

Servings 3 jack-o-lanterns

Ingredients

  • 3 oranges I used grapefruit oranges
  • ½ cup blackberries
  • ½ cup blueberries
  • ½ cup strawberries sliced

Instructions

  • Rinse all fruit, and dry.
  • Using a straight-edged knife on your grapefruit orange, turn knife inward at an angle while making a complete circle. This will release the top of your grapefruit orange. Remove, and set the top aside.
  • Remove the inside of the orange by using a small spoon. Place the orange juice and pulp into a small bowl. You can drink the orange juice, or save it for another use.
  • Once the orange is empty, use a small knife to cut out your jack-o-lantern face! Be creative. You can carve square eyes, triangle eyes, a smile, or big teeth! Have fun!
  • 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.
  • Slice the strawberries into quarters and then in half again.
  • Evenly distribute the blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries into each jack-o-lantern. Use a toothpick or tiny spoon to serve. Your family, friends, and especially children will love these friendly Halloween jack-o-lantern treats!
