Pepitas (Toasted Pumpkin Seeds)
Estimated Times: Est. preparation time: 5 mins
Est. cooking time: 20 mins
Est. hydrating time: 8 hrs
4 cups water
2 cups fresh pumpkin seeds, rinsed
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Combine water, pumpkin seeds and salt in a mixing bowl; cover and let seeds soak for at least 8 hours.
After seeds have soaked, preheat oven to 350°F.
Drain seeds and pat dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Toss with oil and spread onto a shallow baking sheet. Toast for 20 minutes or until fragrant and darkening.
Season by tossing with additional salt and/or spices, if desired.
Cooking Tips
-- You can dispense with the soaking, but the seeds will be more tough and brittle; soaking softens them a bit, giving them a chewier texture.
-- Try using garlic salt, adding a little chili powder to the plain salt, or tossing with Parmesan cheese for variations in flavor.

"How to Preserve a Husband"
Be careful in your selection, do not choose too young, and take only such as have been reared in a good moral atmosphere. Some insist on keeping them in a pickle, while others keep them in hot water. This only makes them sour and sometimes bitter. Even poor varieties, may be sweet, tender and good by garnishing them with smiles and flavored with kisses to taste, then wrap them in a mantle of charity, keep warm with a steady fire of domestic devotion and serve with peaches and cream. When thus prepared they will keep for years and years!

Here are a few good ones for this time of the year.
This first one is from Meal Master:
Pumpkin Zucchini Bread  2 Loaves
3 Eggs; lightly beaten
2 c Sugar
1 c Mashed pumpkin
1 c Butter; melted
1 tb Vanilla
3 c Flour
1 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Cinnamon
1/2 ts Ground nutmeg
1/2 ts Ground cloves
1 c Shredded zucchini
1 c Chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease & flour 2 loaf pans.
Mix eggs and sugar; stir in pumpkin and butter. Stir dry ingredients together; add to egg mixture and mix well. Stir in zucchini and nuts. Divide into pans; bake 45 to 50 minutes or until test done. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.


PUMPKIN SEEDS
Ingredients: Seeds of one pumpkin and salt.
Extract sees from pumpkin.
Separate and discard pulp.
Thoroughly wash seeds in warm water.
Spread seeds out onto a cookie sheet.
Sprinkle generously with salt.
Put into oven and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 20 minutes.
Check every five minutes and stir, adding more salt or to taste.
Check seeds to see if they are done by taking a sample out, allowing to cool and tasting. If the insides are dry, they are done.  Allow to cool and serve.

Flavor Variations:
There is no rocket science required here. You can make as many different flavors of pumpkin seeds as you can imagine. Replace the salt from the recipe above with the suggested seasoning. Here are some we suggest you try:
Cheesy Pumpkin Seeds- sprinkle with Cheesy popcorn seasoning.
Tex-Mex Style- Sprinkle powdered Taco seasoning onto the seeds. This is better mixed in a bowl first. Add more red pepper powder for a really hot seed!
Cajun style- Mix seeds in a bowl with a packet of cajun seasonings mix. If you like it really spicy, add extra hot sauce.

Awesome Pumpkin Bars with Decadent Cream Cheese Frosting
4 eggs
1 2/3 cup sugar
1-cup vegetable oil
2 cups pumpkin (or 1 15 oz can of pumpkin)
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
Combine the eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin in a large bowl. Beat until well blended. In a separate bowl mix the dry ingredients together and add them to the pumpkin mixture. Mix well. Pour into a greased 10 x 15 pan (jelly roll). Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Cool before frosting.

Cream Cheese Frosting
1 8-oz package of cream cheese
6 tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk or cream (start with 2 and add until you’ve found the right consistency – if dry, add very gradually. You don’t want to put too much liquid in too fast)
Mix well (almost fluffy) and spread on the cooled bars.
These bars freeze good although I don’t think there will be much leftover to freeze.
