1C Dried Fruit

1 C Sunflower Seeds

These are shaped like a cornucopia, the horn of plenty

The shape symbolizes our arms folded in thanks and prayer

During the first winter, the pilgrims were each allotted 5 kernels of corn per year because food was so scarce.

Thanksgiving is the celebration of the harvest

Seeds represent the potential of a bounteous harvest for the next season if they're planted and well tended.

"And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive
and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patience and long-suffering;
being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times;
asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal;
"Always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive." Alma 7:23
