Pumpkin Carving Tip!

Take a look at this Pumpkin Carving Tip. Did you know you can extend the life of your pumpkin with a few simple steps?

Jack-o’Lantern Preservation Steps:

  1. Hallow out your pumpkin making sure to remove as much of the stringy fibers and sizes on the inside as possible. A spoon helps well with this.
  2. Rinse your pumpkin out with water
  3. Carve your pumpkin
  4. In a 5 gallon bucket, mix 1 gallon part water to 3 teaspoons bleach. I recommend 3 gal to 1 tsp.’
  5. Dip your jack-o’-lantern in the solution for a full 2 to 3 minutes – your pumpkin will float, so be sure to dip it additionally with your hands to get it covered in solution.
  6. Dry off your pumpkin as much as possible to prevent rot.

This is great if you want to carve a pumpkin early.

Well it is not too late to carve, but if you have already made a fun pumpkin BE SURE TO PIN this item for the future.

I have been carving pumpkins for well over 10 years (I am sure many of you have me beat!) I alwyas find myself buying the $5 grcoery store kit! I justify it’s only $5. I realized how that $5 has added up. Every year, I put a pumpkin carving kit, then I toss it out with the seeds and pumpkin guts. I suggest, like me, you pick up this Best Selling, Highly-Rated Pumpkin Carving Kit. Two Benefits. First, it is Heavy Duty Stainless Steal, Second, it has a nice carrying case for storing.
