Ingredients

1 package (15 ounces) refrigerated pie pastry
3 tablespoons honey mustard
1/2 pound fully cooked ham, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 egg yolks
4 to 6 drops red food coloring
1 egg white
2 to 3 drops green food coloring

Directions

On a lightly floured surface, roll one sheet of pastry into a 15-in. circle. Using a floured 5-in. x 4-in. pumpkin cookie cutter, cut out eight pumpkins. Repeat with remaining pastry. Spread mustard over eight pumpkins. Layer with ham, onions and cheeses to within 3/4 in. of edges.
In a small bowl, beat yolks with enough red food coloring to achieve an orange color. In another small bowl, beat egg white with green food coloring. Brush orange mixture over edges of pastry. Top with remaining pumpkins. Press edges to seal; cut with a pastry wheel. Brush stems with green mixture and pumpkins with orange.
Transfer to greased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until browned. Yield: 8 servings.

This is so cute and my kids loved eating filled mini pumpkins for lunch and they had a lot of fun helping me put them together we will definately make these again! I can's wait for Santa ones and valentines day ones...the shamrocks are going to rock!

how cute! I like the crescent roll to use for sandwiches. Kids had so much fun helping make these, they loved it, something different. We used sliced turkey.

So there's no pumpkin in the recipe. No need to be unkind. I think it's a cute and clever way to get a hot pocket for any holiday. I don't have any young children or grandchildren but I would make for myself and my grown son.

I would make some variations to this recipe. If you don't like the recipe don't make it. Pork was the meat of Americans long before beef became available. The only reason I can think of to make it wrong to eat pork is that you are Jewish. Where are your open minds?

Really cute!!! Great for kiddos...will do this again with different cookie cutters at each holiday!

I have been looking for creative ways to make these and this is a very good suggestion. I also appreciate the picture that was included so that one would know after reading the ingredients that it is in the shape of a pumpkin to enhance little ones need for visual. Very good idea!

I think it's a very cute idea and who cares if it has pumpkin in it. I use to cute my kids sandwiches out with different shaped cookie cutters depending on the holiday. It reminds me of that idea.

Thanks for the idea - will make again and do seasonal "adjustments". Think I might try smaller size with refrigerated cresent roll dough...

Always look at the ingredients before making a decision....It's fall & pumpkin time

This is a cute idea to me! I?m going to make these hot pockets over and over for each holiday using large cookie cutters and I know my kids will love making them. There is a lot of opportunity for using different sandwich ingredients according to one?s own taste. Who cares what they are called, there is no need for hostile comments.
