Pumpkin Wine!

Post by The Cardinal » Sun Oct 05, 2008 5:34 pm

I've got two GIGANTIC pumpkins that I'm going to pick tomorow (so long as it stops raining for ten minutes), they're absolutely huge (atlantic giant) and being as I don't really like eating them, I'm planning on turning at least some of the flesh into Pumkin Wine. I've heard mixed reviews about it's taste though - some people saying it's vile - anyone here tried any?

I have tasted several peoples pumpkin wine (whilst in America for a home made wine convention) and they ranged from very good to excellent, none of them were bad.

I agree with Bob, I made some in Nov 06 and it was fantastic, never got a chance to age properly due to that fact, unfortunately due to a poor crop couldn't make any last year, but have 4 little beauties waiting to be picked at the moment.
It's a messy wine to make and a bit of a ball acher peeling and fleshing but well worth it in the end.
