A new Halloween lantern

I’ve made Halloween lanterns from lots of fruit and veg over the years: pumpkins, turnips, squashes, oranges, apples, potatoes and tomatoes. This year you will be unsurprised to discover that I have added pears to that list: Alongside a bought pumpkin and a giant Howgate Wonder apple. One year I’ll grow my own pumpkin. Off to make pumpkin, apple, pear and tomato soup. I didn’t have a big enough tomato for a lantern but there a few left still for soup. We make our own traditions. This is mine.
