Ingredients

• Fruit: 4 large navel oranges, 8 green grapes
• Decoration: 16 mini chocolate chips (optional, for eyes), 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds (optional, for decoration), 16 small fresh mint leaves (for pumpkin stems), 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for gluing decorations)

Instructions

Step 1:

Wash and dry the oranges and grapes thoroughly.

Slice each orange into 4–5 thick rounds (about 1/2 inch thick). Discard the ends and remove any seeds.

Step 3:

Place the orange slices flat on a serving platter.

Step 4:

Cut grapes in half lengthwise. Attach a grape half to the top edge of each orange slice to resemble a pumpkin stem. Use a toothpick or a dab of honey/maple syrup to secure if needed.

Place a small mint leaf next to each grape stem for added color and realism.

Step 6:

If desired, use mini chocolate chips or black sesame seeds to create jack-o-lantern faces on the orange slices. Lightly press them into the fruit, using honey or syrup as glue if necessary.

Step 7:

Arrange the decorated orange slices in a pumpkin patch layout on the platter. Serve immediately.
