Friday I said that we were going to do a pumpkin seed taste test!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Batch one is prettiest but hardest to chew.

Batch two is crunchy, best tasting and sugary.  The Worcestershire Sauce changed the taste a little from batch one. Boiling made it not so “stringy?”.

Batch three is crunchy and everyone’s favorite choice.

Momma would not let me eat 6 cups!

We are going to do a pumpkin seed taste test!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are the questions:

1. Does the Worcestershire sauce make them better?
2. Does boiling them make them better?
3. Will mama let me eat 6 cups six cups of pumpkin seeds?

Here is one recipe with a few variations we make a lot.

• 3 Cups pumpkin seeds (or other squash seeds) cleaned and rinsed
• 3 Tablespoons melted butter
• 3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• Seasoned salt (1 teaspoon or to taste)

Boil some water.

Add pumpkin seeds and boil 5 to 10 minutes.

Drain well.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until dry.

This recipe tastes wonderful with Garum Masala, garlic powder, a little ground ginger and a little salt. Do this to taste!

It is also good if you omit the Worcestershire sauce and season with cinnamon and sugar.

This recipe is from Miss Krista;

• 3 Tablespoons butter
• 2 cups washed, cleaned pumpkin seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt

Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit

Melt butter in large saucepan

Add seeds and spices; toss to coat

Spread seeds on a large cookie sheet with sides

Bake 40 minutes, stirring often, until seeds are browned and crisp.

Answers tomorrow!
