How to Make Pumpkin Bowls

For pumpkin bowls and dishes, select a healthy, unblemished pumpkin, of the size you want to use.

Next, scrap out the insides of the pumpkin.

Listed below are some ways to make pumpkin serving bowl with your cleaned out pumpkin:

Cold Drinks, juices puddings, apple sauce, etc. :

  1. Clean out the pumpkin just prior to using it.
  2. Cut the lid off the pumpkin and scoop out the insides.
  3. Pour the liquid, pudding or sauce into the cleaned out pumpkin.
  4. Discard it and any leftover contents right after the party. The pumpkin can not be kept.

Snack Serving Bowl(Candies, cookies, other treats):

  1. Clean out the pumpkin just prior to using it.
  2. Cut the lid off the pumpkin and scoop out the insides.
  3. Line the pumpkin with plastic wrap.
  4. Place the snacks inside the pumpkin.
  5. Discard it and any leftover contents right after the party. The pumpkin can not be kept.

Hot Drinks, hot applesauce, etc.:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350° F.
  2. Cut the lid off the pumpkin and scoop out the insides.
  3. In a large, shallow pan, add 1/2″ of water, and place the pumpkin upside down.
  4. Cook pumpkin in oven for about 30 minutes, until pulp is just beginning to get soft. Do not cook it too long, or it may split or leak after filling it.
  5. Remove pumpkin from oven.
