A few years ago, a reader wrote asking if I knew of any unusual Halloween decorations using natural materials. I sure do!
One of my favorite decorations for Halloween is to make floating pumpkin candles. We put them on our harvest dinner table in blue glass bowls filled with water, where they float and they look just beautiful.
Here's how to make your own:
Food markets that carry local harvest produce often offer miniature pumpkins. They are 3"-4" across. Buy six to eight of these pumpkins, and the same number of votive candles.
Hold a votive candle over the top of the pumpkin and trace a circle around it. Using a knife, carefully cut out the circle so that a votive candle will fit into the hole snugly. Repeat with all the candles.
Fill bowls or pails with water, light the candles and float the pumpkins in the water.

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns. ~George Eliot

The difference between apple juice and apple cider is that the juice is pasteurized and the cider is not.
