    Haunted Set: Pumpkin Tips


    Source of Recipe


    posted to recipecircus by wiccadwoman, from rgm

    Two things happen to pumpkins once they are carved:

    1. They dry out and shrivel and/or

    2. They mold.

    * To protect against dryness and mold, cover the carving with plastic wrap and put the pumpkin in the refrigerator when it is not on display.

    * To reduce shriveling, coat the cut edges of your carving with petroleum jelly.

    * You can revive a shriveled pumpkin by soaking it in water for 1 to 8 hours. (Use a bucket or bathtub.) After removing it from the water, let it drain for half an hour, then dry it carefully.

    * Once the pumpkin molds, there is really nothing you can do
    to get rid of the mold.
