Separate seeds from pulp, but do not wash the seeds. A little bit of slime and pulp on the seeds adds flavor. Spread on a greased cookie sheet, sprinkle with salt, and bake at 350 degrees. Stir seeds every five minutes until browned – be careful not to burn. They should be done in approximately 20 minutes.
