How to make tree barks to peck on Halloween
The first thing we need is empty the inside of half a pumpkin by removing its seeds. We also peel the hard shell to work comfortably. Once this operation is done, we take out chips with the help of a pelapatata or if you don't have a sharp knife.
On a baking sheet covered with a silicone silpat or with baking paper, we place the different pieces of pumpkin distributing them by their surface and preventing them from being in contact with each other. We cover two trays to be able to bake them at the same time.
We prepare a syrup by diluting three tablespoons of sugar in a glass of water and bringing it to a boil. With a brush, Lightly varnish the pumpkin pieces and bake at 90º so they slowly dehydrate.
