It’s a cinch to cut
perfectly round holes
in pumpkins and winter
squashes with a
plunger-type apple
corer. Small children
may need the help of
an adult and a rubber
mallet to push the
corer through tough
pumpkin shells,
left.
Discard the cores
for lighted pumpkin
designs, or swap
different colored cores
to create new “breeds”
of squash,
