With cool fall days come bright orange pumpkins, pumpkin seeds, and Pumpkin Seed Brittle. This brittle is good any time of year but seems especially appropriate in the fall. The cinnamon and extra sea salt sprinkled on top perfectly complements this sweet and crunchy brittle. Pepitas are pumpkin seeds. When seeds are fresh from a pumpkin, each green seed is encased in a beige colored, slightly tough but edible hull. When the hull is removed, the dark green seed is revealed. Pepitas are sold and with or without hulls, salted and unsalted. Look for hulled pepitas in many grocery stores and natural food stores. I recommend buying pepitas already hulled; you can hull the seeds yourself by cracking and peeling off the hulls, but this is a tedious task.
