Baked Pumpkin Seeds
PREP TIME: 2-3 hours
MAKES: 2 cups

COMMENT:
St. Francis Episcopal Church located at 726 Maple Street in Denham Springs had such a success in their 1996 Pumpkin Patch fall celebration that organizers expanded the pumpkin sale to include a fair and a pumpkin cookbook this year. The pumpkins were purchased from Native Americans in the Southwest with proceeds going back to the tribe as an outreach ministry for the church. The children further enjoyed roasting pumpkin seeds.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 cups pumpkin seeds
  • 1¾ tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp salt

METHOD:
Leave pumpkin seeds unwashed with shells left on but fibers rubbed off. Combine ingredients in shallow pan. Stirring frequently, bake at 250 degrees to 2 to 3 hours, until dry. Cool, then store in tightly covered container.
