Did you know…
You can make carving pumpkins easier simply be using a freshly picked pumpkin, one that hasn’t been cured. If possible, leave your pumpkins on the vine until it’s time to carve them. This means the skins are softer and easier to work. You will find that you can cut and engrave adding elements of shading to your masterpieces without battling the skin. You can only have uncured pumpkins from your own garden as all the ones for sale in shops have been cured so that they are hard enough to transport! So all would be carving geniuses need to grow their own!
The flesh from an uncured pumpkin is fine to use in the kitchen, just a little less sweet that its cured friends – perhaps some nice and spicy pumpkin soup to enjoy whilst watching the carver perfect their art!
