Time 15m

Yield About 1 pound

Number Of Ingredients 4

Vegetable oil for foil (if needed)
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup unsalted green pumpkin seeds

Steps:

  • Set aside a large nonstick baking mat or a sheet of oiled aluminum foil. In a small saucepan, combine sugar, cream of tartar, and 1/2 cup water. Place over low heat, and stir until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high to bring mixture to a boil. Allow to boil without stirring until syrup turns golden amber, about 10 minutes. (Do not leave unattended as syrup caramelizes suddenly and burns easily.)
  • Remove from heat, and quickly add pumpkin seeds. Tilt pan to coat seeds evenly. Immediately pour onto baking mat or foil, trying to spread mixture in a thin layer. Use a spatula to spread mixture evenly before it begins to set and harden.
  • Allow to cool and harden completely before breaking into pieces. Store in an airtight container.
