pumpkin fun
1 Remove the top of a pumpkin by carving around the stem with a sharp knife. Cut deep enough to reach the hollow inside. Pull the top off the pumpkin by grasping the stem firmly.
2 Remove all the stringy flesh and seeds with your hands. A spoon may be needed to scrape the stringy material and seeds form the sides of the pumpkin.
3 Separate the seeds from the stringy material and set the seeds aside. Discard the stringy material.
4 Wash the seeds and place them on a baking sheet in a single layer. Preheat the oven to 325 F.
5 Sprinkle salt on the seeds. Cook for 5-7 minutes and then flip the seeds over. Cook for another 7-10 minutes or until light brown.
6 Remove the seeds from oven. Cool before eating.
Cooking the Pumpkin Flesh
1 Cut the whole pumpkin into several large pieces.
2 Place the pieces in a large roasting pan skin side up.

4 Cook the pumpkin for 30 minutes or until the pumpkin flesh is soft when pierced with a fork.
5 Remove the roasting pan from the oven. Place the cooked pumpkin on a baking sheet or plate to cool.
