How to Make Oranges into Jack ) Lanterns:

1. Slice off the tops of the oranges.
2. Choose the fruits you prefer fresh or canned.
3. Dice the fruits if fresh into small pieces and place them in a bowl.
4. I use a serrated edge knife to remove the pulp or the back of a teaspoon.
5. Using a sharp knife cut the eyes and nose out, I do not make the teeth however you can if you have large enough navel oranges.
6. Note: If using a fruit like bananas or apples baste each piece of the fruit with orange or lemon juice to keep from browning.
7. Fill and garnish if you wish with fresh herbs.
