One of my favorite treats is homemade roasted pumpkin seeds. The store-bought variety simply do not compare, so I took the time to separate the seeds from the pumpkin I bought to make
pumpkin pie. This recipe can easily be increased if you have more seeds on hand.

Ingredients:
- 1 1/3 cups water
- 3 tablespoons sea salt
- 1 2/3 cups pumpkin seeds (1 large pumpkin)
Instructions:
Bring the water and salt to a boil, stirring until the salt is dissolved. Pour the water over the seeds in a bowl. Cover the seeds and leave to stand for 12 to 24 hours. Drain the water from the seeds. Spread the seeds evenly on a ungreased baking sheet and bake in a 350°F oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until the seeds are dry and puffy. Stir the seeds frequently, once every 10 minutes or so. When the seeds are done, leave them to cool on the baking sheets and stir occasionally. Store in an air-tight container.

Lovely Lisa I bet fresh pumpkin seeds were delightful. :)
Hey Lisa,
what a perfect gift idea. Why don't you send it over to my Spoonful of Christmas event?
Zlamushka;
If you extend the deadline a little longer, I will send you the recipe for my famous rum balls.
I have always salted pumpkin seeds after roasting, but this looks like a much more satisfactory method. I enjoy pumpkin seeds so much that I buy pumpkins just to get the seeds!
Thanks for stopping by Karen. It's a very good method indeed and the seeds are plenty salty.
This is exactly the recipe I need right now, although I may try it with the seeds from a large butternut squash. Have you used seeds other than pumpkin seeds?
