Instead, put a tropical twist on the holiday by making a scary or cute pineapple jack-o-lantern. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make this cute decoration. Select the fruit: Look for a firm, under-ripe pineapple that is slightly green. This will make carving easier. Make sure your pineapple has a nice, full top. Cut the fruit: Slice off the top of the pineapple about an inch down from the leaves. Use a long knife to cut around the cir- cumference of the fruit leaving about a half inch behind. Scoop out the pineapple and keep it to enjoy in a fruit salad or as a snack while you make the jack- o-lantern.
