how do you make Pumpkin Whiskey?

Question

I have heard that if you add sugar water to a cleaned out pumpkin you can get a form of whiskey

Answer 1

here is what i experimented a couple of weeks ago:

pastry to line a 10-inch pie plate
2 cups cooked, mashed pumpkin or one can pumpkin puree (do not use pie filling)
1 cup sugar
4 eggs, separated
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup whiskey
1/3 cup whipping cream
1 Tablespoon cornstarch



Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a ten-inch pie plate with the pastry and put plate on a baking sheet. Beat together pumpkin, sugar, egg yolks, cinnamon in a large bowl. Stir in melted butter, whiskey and cream. Beat egg whites until stiff, then sprinkle with cornstarch. Stir one quarter of egg whites into pumpkin mixture to lighten it, then fold in remaining whites until no white streaks remain. Pour mixture into a prepared pie plate. Bake for one hour, until center is firm to the touch.

Although most of the alcohol cooks out, the flavor of whiskey remains to blend with the rich pumpkin flavor in this easy-to-make pie.

Preparation Time: about 15 minutes Serves: Makes 12 servings

Answer 2

That would be a misnomer. In order to get real whiskey you would have to go through the distillation process..and I don't have enough room here to tell you how to build a still...But I can tell you that you could make mash or beer, the precursor the whiskey from the intrails of the pumkin and sugar water and yeast using the pumpkin, but I would have to remind you that liqour before distillation at best will yeild about a 10-1 ratio of mash to liquor.....so a pumpkin full of mash might yield a cup of liqour if you were lucky....sounds like an urban legend.

Answer 4

Toss in a little yeast to your mix and you'd essentially have a pumpkin beer...although it would be a very nasty one.

Making anything alcoholic, and worth drinking, is never "as simple as..." and any form of spirit (higher alcohol content than beer or wine) *has* to be distilled...such as whiskey/vodka/rum/etc.
