Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Rinse all fruit. Dry.
Using a straight edged knife on your grapefruit orange, turn knife inward at an angle while making a complete circle. This will release the top of your grapefruit orange. Remove and set top aside.
Begin to remove the inside of the grape fruit orange by using a small spoon. Place the grapefruit orange juice and pulp into a small bowl. You can save it and serve as a refreshing drink next to your treats!
Once the grapefruit orange is empty, use a small knife to cut out your jack-o-lantern face! Be creative. You can carve square eyes, triangle eyes, a smile, or big teeth! Have fun!
Slice the very top from 3 strawberries. Use this as a garnish on top of your orange jack-o-lantern! You can secure it with a toothpick, or a dab of honey.
Slice the strawberries into quarters and then in half again.
Evenly distribute the blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries into each jack-o-lantern.
Use a toothpick or tiny spoon to serve.
Your family, friends, and children will love these friendly Halloween treats!
