And as photo evidence from last year suggests,
pineapple lanterns go down well at a party too. Particularly if you're
serving pina coladas...
While their prickly exteriors mean the carving options are quite limited — a triangular eyes and nose looks like it's the easiest design to go for — the process isn't too difficult, according to this YouTube video.
Once you've chopped off the top, the tutorial
recommends using a pineapple cutter to remove the inside of the fruit,
then you'll need a knife to carve out the face and a tea light to place
in the centre.
Pineapples might not be the first thing that comes
to mind when thinking about decorating ideas for Halloween, but it turns
out, the fruit works pretty well as a tropical alternative to the
traditional pumpkin jack-o'-lantern.

Need
proof? In the lead-up to this year's spookiest season, people have been
sharing pictures of these spiky-haired fellas on social media.

As
the tutorial warns, the pineapple version won't last as long as a
pumpkin, but its sweet aroma is sure to smell pretty good. And if trying
the pineapple trend sparks an urge to experiment this Halloween?
Apparently pepper-carving can be done, too...
