Fresh mint sprigsfor garnish (optional)
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries. Place in a food processor and process until completely smooth.
Slowly pour strawberry puree through a fine-mesh sieve and into a 2-quart pitcher. The puree will be thick, but push it through the sieve with a wooden spoon to get as much as possible into the pitcher. Then slowly pour pineapple juice over the puree remaining in the sieve and into the pitcher. Continue to stir and press on the pulp as you pour the pineapple juice. After all of the liquid has been extracted, discard the leftover strawberry pulp.
Pour seltzer into the pitcher, stirring with the strawberry puree and pineapple juice until well combined.
Add ice to 6 glasses. Pour punch into the glasses. Garnish with mint sprigs and fresh strawberries.
