First time I saw a sausage bouquet at A Mouse On The Table (Visual Food) blog by Rita Loccisano. The bouquet seemed to me a great idea of snack serving. Truly Rita's blog is full of smart food ideas. 
I added some carving work to Rita's bouquet and it turned into the sausage bouquet framed in pumpkin

You need:
a pumpkin of medium size,
sausages,
sprouting onion.

Tools:
paring knife,
toothpicks and bamboo skewers




Pumpkin, sausages and onion

snack bouquet how to do
Cut the punpkin in parts.  One part for a base and a central part for a frame. 

Take a central part and remove a pumpkin meat . This is a frame.

Decorate it with U or V shape knife.



Decorate a pumpkin base (it's optional)

now set the frame on the base and fix them using toothpicks

Set sausages in bamboo skewers. Looks like a reed, does'n it? 

and arrange the sausages in the pumpkin ring.

Add some green onion. Small tomatos made the final look.

While writing this article I got an idea. If you carve a frog out of green bell pepper and set it on the pumpkin base the reed bouquet will get a completely naturalistic look.

By the way, using salt bread sticks instead of wooden skewers let you make the sausage bouquet absolutely edible!
