How To Harvest
Heirloom Connecticut Field Pumpkin Seeds
Choose a ripe, healthy-looking pumpkin and cut in half.
Scoop out all the pulp from inside using a large spoon.
Use a metal spoon as it has the strength to sever the
fibrous strands that hold the seeds to the shell.
Place pulp in a large bowl as you scoop it out.
Pull the seeds from the pulp with your fingers
and place into a colander in the sink.
Rinse the seeds under lukewarm running water.
Gently scrape off as much
pulp as possible with your fingernails.
Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
Lay clean pumpkin seeds on top of
the paper towels in a single layer.
Place seeds in a dark, cool room
for one month to dry.
Sort through seeds after they are dry and
discard any with mold or mildew spots.
