I bought this the last time I visited Squeaks. It's a little gadget to
hollow out a fruit or vegetable just the right amount to drop a tea
light into. The fruit or vegetable acts as the candle holder, too
cute.
Last night I finally got around to using it on a couple of apples,
fun, fun, now no fruit or vegetable is safe around me. ;-)

Did you find it at Surly Table? I completely forgot that last year I
promised myself to get one in time for the Fall holidays this year, so
thanks for the reminder! Did the apples smell nice when the candle
was burning?

Other than the scent of a freshly cut apple, no. All the apples do is
act as candleholders. Just be sure and treat the cut friut with some
fruit fresh or lime juice if it tends to brown after being cut.

Thanks, Koko... unless it says to do it on the box, I probably
wouldn't have thought of that until after the fact.

Turn them into applesauce after you've used them as candle holders.

Me too but then I'd have to remember how to play and it is all so
calculating that I think I am too old. Cribbage works for me.

Glad you liked the video.
