Ingredients

  • 1/4 Kabocha squash or other orange winter squash (300 g)
  • 2 tsp Sugar

Method

  • Cut the kabocha squash into big pieces and place in a heat resistant bowl.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until the kabocha squash softens.
  • Remove the peel.
  • The peel will be used to make the jack-o-lantern eyes and mouth, so try not to rip it.
  • Add sugar and then mash the kabocha squash with a fork as smooth as possible.
  • Take the mix from Step 4 and tightly wrap it into a ball using plastic wrap.
  • Wet your hands and smooth out the kabocha squash dough.
  • Use scissors or a knife to cut the eyes and mouth from the kabocha squash peel.
  • If you have pumpkin seeds, you could use them to make stems, then stick the eyes and mouth, and it's done.
