Pumpkin Punch Bowl
This one makes a great center piece for your table as
well as a handy punch bowl! Use a black marker to paint
a jack-o-lantern face on the front, you'll need this
pumpkin whole!
1 hollowed and well cleaned pumpkin
2 oranges
Whole cloves
6 cups apple juice
1 cinnamon stick
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 1/4 cups pineapple juice
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Stud the
whole oranges with cloves, spacing them about two inches
apart and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven. In a
large saucepan, combine the apple juice and cinnamon
stick; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5
minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the nutmeg, honey,
lemon juice and pineapple juice. Serve hot in a punch
bowl with the 2 clove-studded baked oranges floating on
top. To serve in the hollow pumpkin, you may want to
cool it first so it doesn't cook the inside of the
pumpkin.
