Jack-o'-Lantern Oranges

I just saw this in my Taste of Home Healthy Cooking newsletter and had to share. There is plenty of junk available to our kids this time of year and I thought this was a fun and nice alternative.

small navel oranges
1 small apple, chopped
1/2 cup halved seedless red grapes
Slivered almonds and whole cloves

Choose which side of each orange will be the jack-o'-lantern's face; cut a thin slice from the bottom of each so that it rests flat. Cut another small slice from the top. Spoon out pulp. Chop pulp and combine with apple and grapes; set aside.

Cut faces as desired; decorate with cloves and almonds. Spoon fruit mixture into jack-o'-lanterns.

Yield: 8 servings.
