Are you looking for a fun, new way to take part in the pumpkin carving tradition, but without the pumpkins? If you’re a true Floridian you can appreciate why we LOVE carving pineapples instead of pumpkins!
While you might think this is a bit crazy and potentially messy, we are here to tell you that carved pineapples are going to be your favorite fall tradition after you see them! Whether you live in Jupiter, Tequesta, Palm Beach Gardens, Stuart, Palm City, or Hobe Sound - Pineapples are always in season in South Florida and for Halloween, carving a pineapple is the perfect way to celebrate the season with your friends and family!
Read on to find out how you can carve pineapples to make the most unique Jack-O-Lanterns you’ve ever seen!
1. Cut off the stem of a pineapple straight across the top, saving enough of the stem for a lid of your pineapple-o-lantern
2. Use a pineapple corer to hollow the pineapple or use a knife. This part is tricky so you have to be a little careful not to cut yourself.

Since pineapples tend to be very sticky, drawing out a design with a marker may not work well, so you will have to either freehand your design or use a stencil.
4. Place an LED tea light or a candle (very carefully!) on the inside where the pit was removed.
5. Enjoy looking at your carved Pineapple o’ Lantern masterpiece and be the envy of your neighborhood.
