Tuesday Tip: Keep Your Pumpkins from Getting Mushy

(My niece Calli)
It is time to carve pumpkins at our house.  The pumpkin always starts out looking great.  Well, if not great, at least the kids like them.

After a couple of days, they start to get soft and mushy.  That happens when air comes in contact with the cleaned out, inside flesh of the pumpkin, allowing bacteria to grow.  To slow that process down, I spray the inside of my hallowed out pumpkins with first aid antiseptic spray.


The spray keeps my pumpkin looking fresh for several extra days.  


Don't eat your pumpkin after it has been treated with the antiseptic spray

On Friday, I will be posting my,
 Mini Lasagna recipe!
