- 1). Cut a lid out of your pumpkin with a carving knife so that you can get to your seeds.
- 2). Scoop the seeds out and place them in a colander.
- 3). Run the colander under the faucet and work off the stringy skin from the seeds with your hands.
- 4). Set the seeds on some brown paper bags.
- 5). Pat the seeds dry with paper towels.
- 6). Let the seeds sit out overnight so that they dry.
- 7). Place the seeds in an airtight container and store them in your refrigerator. They will last up to a week in the refrigerator, so you should make sure you roast them before the week is out.
