Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 very ripe large pineapple, peeled, cored, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/4 cups gold rum
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 cups 1-inch cubes peeled fresh pineapple
3 cups ice cubes

Steps:

  • Combine first 5 ingredients in large pitcher; using potato masher, mash several times. Cover; chill overnight.
  • Strain mixture through coarse sieve set over large bowl. Transfer pineapple solids to processor; coarsely chop using on/off turns. Strain chopped pineapple through sieve set over same bowl, pressing on solids with spatula to release as much liquid as possible (discard pineapple solids in sieve). Pour strained pineapple punch back into pitcher. (Can be made 6 hours ahead; cover and chill.) Mix 2 cups cubed pineapple into punch, then mix in ice and serve.
