Harvest Potpourri

Harvest Potpourri

I found in my files a potpourri using pumpkin seeds, but I thought it would be nice to throw in some dried corn and beans, etc. and call it Harvest Potpourri.  What do you think? I have NOT tried this yet!  If you do please let me know how it turns out and any changes you suggest because I just made up the amounts for corn and beans. lol

Ingredients:

• 1 - 2 cups pumpkin seeds

• 1 T cinnamon

• 1/2 T allspice

• 1 T oil

• 1/2 cup cloves

• 3 - 4 cinnamon sticks

• 1 cup dried field corn (or popcorn)

• 1/2 cup dried lima beans

• Real or fake red berries

• Optional:  Dried berries, dried fruits, etc.

Instructions:

• Put cleaned pumpkin seeds in a baking dish.

• Add cinnamon, allspice and oil.

• Mix well until all seeds are covered.

• Bake in a 350° oven, stirring frequently, until golden brown, approx. 45 minutes.

• Add cloves, cinnamon sticks, lima beans, red berries and any other items that would enhance it.

• Label with poem if for a gift.
