Burnt Brittle!
The last traces of this year's Jack O'Lantern - the seeds - have been mistreated.
I had been saving them to make the Pumpkin Seed Brittle recipe I've been eyeing for years, resisting the urge to snack on their toasted goodness while they waited patiently in a container in my office (Yetch would have devoured them otherwise).
Today I found the time to make it. Had it heating up on the stove when I thought "oh! I should have my camera and take pictures for the website".
By the time I ran into the other room and retrieved the camera, my brittle went from light toffee to deep amber.
*sigh*
Yetch is still very pleased with the results.

yum!
That sounds tasty! For the record, when we toast our seeds we don't bother washing them. We just squeeze off most of the slime, then salt them and throw them in the oven :) I'll have to try the brittle though!
I know sometimes people even
I know sometimes people even leave bits of the pumpkin flesh on the seeds on purpose for flavor. I tend to have a harder time properly drying them out prior to toasting if I don't give them a quick rinse first (I'm pretty good at most cooking details but making something simple like the perfect toasted pumpkin seeds eludes me on so many occasions. Removing the flesh is a failsafe for me!).
I hate it when things like
I hate it when things like that happen. Glad Yetch is still pleased.
