Time 4h10m

Yield 6 cups seeds, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 cups sunflower seeds, in the shell
8 cups water
3/4 cup canning salt

Steps:

  • Put sunflower seeds in colandar and wash with warm running water.
  • Shake dry in colandar.
  • Place in tall stockpot.
  • Add sunflower seeds.
  • Add 8 cups water and canning salt.
  • Cover.
  • Set in a cool room or cold porch.
  • The seeds will swell some.
  • Let set for 48 hours, the longer you set, the longer the brine has a chance to work.
  • I turned with a stainless steel spoon 4 times during this process.
  • Drain the seeds, save the brine, if you want to make another batch.
  • Pour the seeds into a terry cloth towel and wrap and press with your hand.
  • Spread out on baking trays.
  • Place in a cold oven.
  • Heat oven to 250*.
  • Turn every hour with a spatula.
  • Dry from 3 to 4 hours. It depends on the amount of seeds you place on your trays.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sunflower seeds. Look for large, plump seeds with no visible cracks or blemishes.
  • Rinse the seeds thoroughly. This will remove any dirt or debris that may be present.
  • Soak the seeds overnight. This will help to soften the hulls and make them easier to crack.
  • Roast the seeds in a single layer. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Stir the seeds frequently. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Season the seeds to taste. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, or chili powder.
