Pumpkin Seeds

• 1/2 cup seeds
• 2 tablespoon Salt
• 2 cup water
• 1/2 tablespoon Olive oil

Rinse seeds. Keep proportions above, and combine seeds, water and salt in a bot. Bring to a boil. Let simmer for 10 minutes. Grease a cookie tray with olive oil. Spread seeds on pan. Season and cook at 400F for about 10 minutes. Watch seed carefully after about 7 minutes as they go from undercooked to burnt in roughly a minute.

Seasoning

1. Salt
2. Garlic, salt and Cajun
3. Sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom (This is the best)

Sugar Seasoning

• 1/3 C sugar
• 1 T cinnamon
• 1 t cardamom
• .5 t nutmeg
• To 4 cups seeds

To Try: Combine spices and seeds in a bag/bowl stir then pour out on tray (as opposed to sprinkling spices on seeds).

Better idea

• After boiling the seeds, return them to the pot and add butter
• Roast the seeds with just the butter
• Put the browned seeds in the pot, add sugar mix
• Cook in pot until >212F
• possibly add baking soda here
• Transfer back to oven until the sugar is crisp

Yeah, that worked well.
