Yields 2 cups.

2 cups pumpkin seeds

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

1/2 teaspoon salt

Rinse the pumpkin seeds until all the pulp and strings are washed off. In a medium bowl, combine the Worcestershire sauce, melted butter or margarine, and salt. Add the seeds and stir until they are coated. Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 225 degrees for 1 to 2 hours, until crisp. Stir frequently to prevent scorching.
