1
cup candy corn - during the first winter, the Pilgrims were each
allotted only 5 kernels of corn per day because food was so scarce.
1
cup dried or candy fruits - Thanksgiving is the celebration of the harvest.
1
cup peanuts or sunflower seeds - seeds represent the potential of a
bounteous harvest for the next season if they are planted and well tended.
