Re: seeds for roasting
Tom
I have about 100 pumpkins leftover from fall sales (not AG's) and was
thinking about saving the seeds for roasting. Wonder how the seed companies
do it. I have done it before but usually I can eat the seeds faster than I
can prep them for roasting - so it is a time consuming thing.
Also does any one know if you could put hot roasted seeds right out of the
oven into sterilized mason jars and seal them up to keep them fresh all
winter? If you roast up a bunch they are usually not too good a week later.
