If you want your Jack O Lantern Pumpkin to last longer, try this easy treatment on your pumpkin.
After you
scoop out and carve your pumpkin, dip it in a large container of bleach and
water (use a 1 tsp:1 gal mix). The bleach will kill bacteria and help your
pumpkin stay fresh longer. Once completely dry, (drain upside down), add 2
tablespoon of vinegar and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to a quart of water. Brush
this solution onto your pumpkin to keep it looking fresh for weeks.”
