Pumpkin Wine 1st

I have never made this, I am not responsible in any way if you do. Please read the introduction for more information. This recipe is not dated, but was probably written down in 1977. I have only adjusted formatting for webpage display, it is otherwise exactly how it appears in the notebook.
