Recipe Share: Sarah's Spiced Pumpkin Seeds

I finally got around to disecting and baking this year's pumpkin. It had already been spared the jack-o-lantern phase given the busy couple of weeks, but we just couldn't let the chance pass by to do up this year's batch of seeds..  

I went looking for recipes (another annual tradition it seems) and found this one on our Epicure Recipe Collection.  James looked at me rather oddly when I suggested putting sugar on his pumpkin seeds..  that made me laugh..   but it would certainly be something different.. 

We have a friend dropping off a couple more pumpkins sometime today so we'll have an opportunity to try a couple of different things.  Thought maybe some of our Epicurious friends might have some ideas..   

How do you do YOUR seeds?  I'd love to hear your recipes.  Send them to us at feedmeepicure@gmail.com  or post them in comments here!  

Cheers!
