There are a lot of things you have to give up when you live outside of the US! For me, carving pumpkins at Halloween is one of those things! There just simply ARE NOT pumpkin patches, or pumpkin carts at every intersection! In fact, I've only ever seen big American style orange pumpkins in Korea ONCE, and that was 3 years ago! Sooo... This year, I decided I was going to put my resourceful cap on and carve something - the closest thing I could think of was an orange! Turns out, it was actually really simple to do, much cheaper, and just as much fun!
Step 1:
Find an orange that can sit up on it's own and cut the top off, just like you would a pumpkin.
Step 2:
Take a spoon and dig between the orange's peel and the orange inside. This is actually easier than you'd think. It separates pretty easily and then you can scoop the orange out! When you're finished, run your orange peel under the kitchen faucet to get all the sticky juice out!
Step 3:
Carve your orange peel with a regular kitchen knife. The sharper the better. Then, throw a candle in, light it up, and enjoy your mini jack-orange-o'lantern!
