In all the Halloween related paragraphs, we failed to mention that acorns (washed, of course) also make great centerpiece decorations. We don’t know how long cream pumpkins have been around, but candy corn has been an autumn staple for well more than 100 years and we suspect cream pumpkins have been in households that long also. The tiny green “stems” just highlight them as they adorn candy dishes, decorative tables, and displays. Use cream pumpkins, candy corn, harvest M+M’s, Hershey’s Kisses, harvest mix around the base of your jack be little display.Ĭream pumpkins are made from the same ingredient as candy corn, but oh so much more decorative on cupcakes and around punch bowels that are filled with orange punch. You can also paint faces on them with black permanent markers and color them with acrylic paints or make miniature scarecrows from them. Usually you can purchase them at supermarkets for about a $1 each and they can be the makings of wonderful harvest and Halloween displays. They are only about the size of your fist, but great for coffee tables, dinning room tables with plenty of shape and color. After Halloween, you can wash the pumpkin, peel it and dice it up, boil it until tender, mash it up and make pumpkin pie, cake, cobbler, pudding, or bread with nights still getting cooler, a pumpkin enjoys a longer life. With a black permanent marker, you can draw a face on the orange pumpkin and use yellow acrylic paint to fill in the face. You do not have to carve a pumpkin to make a jack o’ lantern. Without any carvings or decorations, a big orange round pumpkin speaks volumes on the front porch. Top with Dream Whip, Cool Whip, dairy whipping cream, or vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of maple syrup or Log Cabin pancake maple syrup. Bake until the crust forms (usually about 50 to 60 minutes until golden brown). Do not disturb the batter because it will rise as the pie bakes and form the crust. In a bowl, mix the four beaten eggs, the can of pumpkin pie filling, and the can of evaporated milk and stir to mix. Do not stir (this batter will rise while baking and form a crust) just spread it evenly over the melted margarine and set the baking dish aside. Pour this mixture over the melted light margarine. Mix together flour, baking powder, sugars, vanilla and lemon flavorings and enough milk to mix it together. Melt margarine and pour into a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan or dish and set aside. For this recipe, you will need one 30-ounce can of Libby’s pumpkin pie filling, one and a half sticks of light margarine, one can evaporated milk, one cup plain floor, one teaspoon of baking powder, one teaspoon vanilla flavoring, one teaspoon lemon flavoring, half cup light brown sugar, half cup granulated sugar, four beaten large eggs. This is a easy pumpkin recipe with a lot of simple ingredients and it is delicious served with Dream Whip or vanilla ice cream. A great kit with all the attachments can be used to make watermelon, honeydew, and cantaloupe balls and watermelon baskets for parties and weddings. You always get what you pay for, so go ahead and buy a durable and long lasting carving kit that will last longer than your lifetime. You can buy a small kit for about $7 to $10, but a durable kit with all the “whistles and bells” cost around $14. A good kit includes knives, carvers, blades and scrappers as well as other gadgets. A quality carving kit has many blades and accessories.
