Notes

How to clean your pumpkin seeds

Place the gunky pumpkin seeds in a large bowl.  Fill the bowl with water.  Using your hands, begin to rub and loosen the pumpkin fibers from the seeds.  The fibers will sink to the bottom of the bowl and the clean seeds will begin to float to the top.  Use a slotted spoon to remove the pumpkin seeds from the water and place them on a paper towel to dry.
