Ingredients:
2 fresh large pineapples
1 ½ cups water
1 ¼ cups silver or gold rum
¼ cup sugar

Directions
First, peel and core one large ripe pineapple and cut it into 2 inch pieces. Then, combine with water, rum, sugar and lime juice in a blender and pulse to a thick, chunky consistency. Cover and chill overnight. The next day, strain the mixture through a sieve into a bowl. Discard the leftover chunks, and pour the strained pineapple punch into a serving pitcher or punch bowl. Chop second pineapple into 1 inch cubes, and add 2 cups to the punch. Stir in a few mint leaves, then add ice and serve. Punch can be kept in the fridge up to 6 hours before serving. Makes approximately 6 drinks.
