Anyone ever mess with them? They're a tradition around our house. We have a bucket full of candy at the house, and these are what I keep coming back for.
1) Scoop out the innards of the pumpkins, separating the seeds out
2) Cover the seeds in a brine (flavored with your choice of seasonings), and bring to a boil.
3) Let water boil for about 5 minutes, then remove pot from heat.
4) Soak seeds until water cools.
5) Drain & lightly rinse seeds in a collander
6) Evenly spread seeds on a cookie sheet & bake in 300 degree oven until crisp (bonus points if you can use a convection fan). Stir them around every 15 minutes or so to keep them separated and to ensure even cooking. Take them out just before they really start turning golden colored.
