INGREDIENTS
* 1½ lbs. Puréed Pumpkin (either home-made or canned, but don't use "Pumpkin Pie Filling")
* Approximately 4 qts. Water
* 2 cups Brown Sugar
* ¼ cup Raisins, chopped
* 9 inches Cinammon Stick, cut into 1-inch pieces
* 4 or 5 Cloves
* 1 oz. Grated Ginger
* 1/8 tsp. Ale Yeast grains
* ¼ cup Lukewarm Water



Simmer two quarts of water, the pumpkin purée, sugar, raisins, cinammon, cloves, and ginger for about half an hour.

Take it off the heat, and let it cool off covered for about thirty minutes. Then strain the mixture into a carboy and add another one or two quarts of water.

Prepare the yeast in the ¼ cup of lukewarm water, then add it to the carboy. Mix thoroughly, then bottle immediately.

Store in a temperature stable place, and check its carbonation after two days. Refrigerate it immediately once it is "fizzy" enough.

This would be good for Halloween or Thanksgiving time! Is Pumpkin soda kind of spicy? I only ask because pumpkin to me is spicy. I love pumpkin pie but can't eat a whole lot because of the spice.

Pumpkin soda? That sounds a little out there for me. I think pumpkin beer would be great but the flavour might be too heavy for a soda... I suppose if you posted the recipe then it must be good.
