Pumpkin Seed Raisin Squares
- 3 cups pumpkin seeds, raw
- 1 12 cups raisins (Thompson are good)
- 1 tablespoon powdered ginger
- 12 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 12 lemons, grated and squeezed (or limes)
- 15 fresh strawberries (or use raspberries)
- 3 bananas
- Mix the seeds and raisins in a food processor until you get a mixture that clumps together.
- You may need to stop the machine and clear any raisins that get stuck to the blade.
- You can also use a spice grinder (i.e: coffee grinder used only for spices), but it takes longer.
- Grate the lemon or lime, and set aside the juice.
- Place seed and raisin mixture in a bowl and add the ginger, salt and lemon rind.
- Using a wet fork, spread mixture onto a oiled cookie sheet to make a thin layer.
- Use the side of a metal spatula to cut the sheet into squares.
- Note: If you have a no-stick or stainless steel cookie sheet, you don't need to oil it first.
- Leave raw or bake in the oven at 275 degrees F for 11 minutes until toasted and slightly crispy.
- Slice the bananas and strawberries.
- Place bananas slices in a small bowl and add the lemon juice.
- Once the squares have cooled, add a slice of banana and strawberry to each one.
