I was just talking to a truck driver who had recently returned from somewhere in the deep south. He was sampling this old timers's shine. The old timer told him that his favorite drink was his homemade pumpkin wine. He proceeded to tell this guy about how he made it. I am wondering here if any of you folks had heard of such a thing.
The process:
1.Take a fair size pumpkin. (What ever that means)
2. Cut off the top and clean out the seeds.
3. Fill the cavity with brown sugar or molasses.
4. replace the cap and seal it up good with wax.
5. Stick it in the barn until the outside all turns black.
6. Poke a whole in it and drain out the wine.
Really sounds interesting. This guys Mom's eyes got the size of silver dollars as he was telling this story. She said "I am going to have to plant some punkins next year." I said well in a month or two she can buy all of the punkins she can carry for a few bucks. She said "Yea I can I can." So I am going to let her experiment and I will taste her wine for a change.
Anyone heard of this?
