These days, roasted pumpkins seeds are all the rage. Tasty, full of anti-oxidants, high in fiber and protein, gourmet shops and health food stores stock them. Here's an EASY recipe to make them yourself!
|
|
When you are carving your pumpkin, separate the seeds from the
pumpkin flesh and strings. Wash them well (usually putting then in a big bowl of
water and rubbing them between your hands is a fast way to clean them) and let
them drain in a strainer for about 30 minutes, then spread them out on a
baking pan. Now just
use a hair dryer to dry them quickly!
It is also time to start preheating the oven.
Turn it on and set it to 275 F (135 C, for those in Europe)
Spread the seeds evenly over a cookie sheet
and lightly baste the seeds with melted butter, margarine, or vegetable
oil. There are many variations. Here are the most popular, in
order or popularity:
Heat them in a 275-degree oven for 10 to 20
minutes until golden brown. DO KEEP AN EYE ON THEM, checking every few
minutes and stir about every 5 minutes. Some ovens run hot and it can be as
little as 10 minutes or as long as 30 minutes to roast them. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot or cold.
For milder flavor, simmer the cleaned seeds for about an hour in salted water and fry in deep oil. Or mix a tablespoon of oil or margarine to each cup of nuts and roast them at 250 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes until they're golden. Sprinkle them with salt.

spaghetti sauce!. This complete kit includes everything you need: the canner, jar rack, jar grabber tongs,
lid lifting wand, six pint jars with lids and rings, a plastic funnel,
labels, bubble freer, and the bible of canning, the Ball Blue Book. You'll
never need anything else except more jars and lids!
