Pumpkin Seeds

Every year we cook our pumpkin seeds and then enjoy eating them. This year it seems that we seem to be running into more and more people that have never even had a pumpkin seed so I thought I would share our method of cooking the pumpkin seeds.
Pumpkin Seeds
First, clean the seeds extremely well. A few in a colander under running water works really well but you will still need to pull out anything that doesn't go through the strainer.
Second, boil the seeds in very salty water. The seeds need to boil for about 1/2 an hour to get the salt into the shell. They will be a gray green color when they have boiled long enough. We don't measure the salt, we just dump a lot in.
Last, spread the seeds on a cookie sheet. They do not have to be completely separated. They will dry even if on top of each other. Bake them at 350 degrees stirring them every 15-20 minutes. They are done when they are dry. This usually takes 45 minutes to an hour.
