Extend Your Carved Pumpkin's Life

Don't let all that pumpkin carving go to waste just yet... Generally a carved pumpkin will last 3-4 days. You can increase the life expectancy of your carved pumpkin by spraying the cut edges with PAM or rubbing them with Vaseline. Spraying the pumpkin occasionally with a spray of bleach and water can decrease the bacteria which causes the rotting process. You can also wrap a carved pumpkin in plastic wrap and store it in the fridge. Happy Halloween!
