HALLOWEEN INSPIRATION

Whether you're planning a Halloween party or a cosy family gathering, here are some recipe ideas to help you get creative with your seasonal spread including a delicious crowd pleasing Halloween Sangria.

Utilising leftover Pumpkin

This time of year is all about the humble and versatile pumpkin. After picking your favourite shape, carving and hollowing, try using up any leftovers in this recipe for Sweet Pumpkin Bread which the whole family can get in on this half term and Halloween. Find the recipe here.

Using the versatile Fruit bowl

A great way to use the multi-purpose fruit bowl is for apple bobbing. Deep enough to fill with water and your favourite apples of the season. A favourite is the crisp and tart cox's apple which are readily available in most shops..

Another great way to use our fruit bowl is for this Adult recipe for Halloween Sangria with frozen grapes for a pop of sweetness.
