Rinse in a 10% bleach/water bath. Towel off.
Dry indoors on elevated hardware cloth or window screen with a fan near our
dehumidifier are AC vent for a minimum of one week or until the "skins" fly.
Store seeds in any convenient vessel in the freezer.
Drying outdoors here has always resulted in fatter squirrels.

What is the best way to prepare seeds from the pumpkin for next years use?
Sun dry? Indoor dry? Fast or slow dry?
Store them in an airtight jar or let them breath in an envelope?
