COMMENT:
St. Francis Episcopal Church located at 726 Maple Street in Denham
Springs had such a success in their 1996 Pumpkin Patch fall celebration
that organizers expanded the pumpkin sale to include a fair and
a pumpkin cookbook this year. The pumpkins were purchased from Native
Americans in the Southwest with proceeds going back to the tribe
as an outreach ministry for the church. The children further enjoyed
roasting pumpkin seeds.
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cups pumpkin seeds
- 1¾ tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp salt
METHOD:
Leave pumpkin seeds unwashed with shells left on but fibers rubbed
off. Combine ingredients in shallow pan. Stirring frequently, bake
at 250 degrees to 2 to 3 hours, until dry. Cool, then store in tightly
covered container. |
