This is my cornucopia. The first thing I did was make the cornucopia itself. It was made from a series of overlapping ellipses and an arrow at the end. The circles and arrow have a fill of light brown with a grid 7 effect of 3%, and a stroke of brown with a tip size of 3. The last circle had a fill of dark brown with no stroke.
The background is a rectangle with a rectangle gradient effect, going from red to orange to brown and finally to yellow. These are fall colors to match the feeling of the rest of the objects.
The pumpkin is a series of overlapping ellipses with a gradient effect. The stem is a green rectangle with black bars. All of these are combined into a group for ease of use.
The grapes are all just copies of the same grape. It is simply an ellipse with a gradient effect, and the stem is a green line I adjusted with the freeform tool. The grapes are all in a straight line because I copied them and moved them over with the arrow keys. I then used the skew tool to rotate the whole thing over.
The corn is an ellipse with a yellow/orange gradient effect. Most of the corn is a copy a group of three corn kernels. There is also a layer of two behind it to keep it from being see through.
The potato and tomato are both simply tracings of pictures of real tomatoes and potatoes. They both have the same gradient effect, ellipse, with different colors. They have a stroke of 1 in black. The maple leaves are also tracings of a picture, but with no stroke or gradient effect.
Lastly, the apple is two ellipses, with one having a small ellipse effect to make it appear that it is shining. It's stem is simply a green line moved with the free form tool.
