Do you mean like delaying a pumpkin from turning to pulp, after a jackolantern is carved out of it?  Or, like, actually leaving the jackolantern on the vine to rot after it’s been carved, and if it’s still there the next year it’s a jackolantern, so they still don’t lose a year?

I want the pumpkin to still hold its shape after being carved . I once had a carved pumpkin start to decompose in a couple of hours.

Ah, so a cut pumpkin is the real jackolantern.  I think if you’re looking for specific ways to preserve a carved jackolantern, you’re looking for different things than the ones I’ve found in a quick search.

Let me do a brief search, and I’ll find the most relevant links, and let you know about any I’m still looking into.
