Halloween Is In The Air
I have to admit, they look pretty darn good lit up. The innards didn’t go to waste either. We separated the seeds from the gunk as Mini Me likes to call it. The monsters took the “gunk” to our goats and I washed the seeds up and let them air dry then I broke out the food dehydrator. (I really, REALLY love my dehydrator by the way.) I spread the seeds out between 3 of the 4 racks and let them sit over night. When I got up this morning to put Mini Me on the bus I turned it on and let it run for about 2 hours. They turned out pretty good. I did read online though that you can “infuse” flavors into the seeds by soaking them in flavored water before you dehydrate them. Flavored water such as, garlic, ranch, cajun, salt, etc. The salt they mentioned was sea salt though not regular table salt. Since this was my first time dehydrating pumpkin seeds I just did them plain but I imagine next year I will try a different flavor. They make a nice snack for the monsters and for my mice.I hope y’all enjoyed the pictures, please feel free to leave comments as I enjoy readin’ ’em and I hope everyone has a Happy Halloween and a Blessed Samhain.
