Candied Pumpkin Seeds
(originally made 11/2010)
Though I was a fan of candy growing up, my favorite treat of Halloween was the roasted pumpkin seeds that my mom used to make. She used a sheet pan and the old style radiator heater and the house would smell amazing. Salty and crunchy and delcious. Our pumpkin this year was loaded with seeds, and when I went searching for methods and oven times, I found this recipe. My seeds had sat for a day or two and were a little dry to start, so halfway through the baking time I added about a tablespoon of water and stirred. Didn't have pumpkin pie spice, but did have Penzey's baking spice (a blend of cinnamon, anise, mace, cardamom). I did up the salt a tiny bit, and the resulting sweet and salty seeds have been disappearing quickly :)

well-glazed, stirring occasionally. Cool completely; break into
