Channeling my inner Momma Hen (Kathy in Fl)...
My brother brought home a huge pumpkin while I was down in Florida this past fall. Yesterday I figured it was time to make use of it so I cut it up (so glad my brother has sharp knives), baked it /// and salted the seeds to work on today.
The pumpkin turned out great - I put 22# of peeled flesh in the freezer and then (a la Kathy) I roasted the seeds today after soaking them in salt water 24 hours.
Yep, turned out to be a fantastic idea. I don't even have to shell them as I thought I would. They are amazing. I'd do this again in a heartbeat and only hope that maybe this year I'll figure out how to get my little pumpkins to grow to full size
Couldn't hurt and Alaska is known for growing champion pumpkins. I just have to figure it out, lol ~
