Hot Brandied Fruit in Coconut Shells

3 tbs butter or margarine
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup pineapple or papaya juice
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tbs fresh grated coconut
8 oz fresh diced pineapple
1 banana peeled and sliced
1 fresh mango, peeled seeded and diced
1/4 cup brandy
1 1/2 pints vanilla or coconut ice cream
1/4 cup salted roasted peanuts
4 coconut bowls or serving dishes

Melt butter in skillet. add brown sugar.  Mix in juice and cook
over medium heat and bring to a boil.  Lower heat and add fruit
and simmer till warm about 5 minutes. Heat brandy in small pan.
Ignite.  Be careful doing this. When flames dies out, add to fruit
and stir in. Looks wonderful when served in a coconut bowl but also
pretty in glass dishes. Top with ice cream and chopped nuts.

Note: just stir in some coconut extract into vanilla ice cream for
a coconut flavor if you cant find real coconut ice cream. Serves
4 and double if desired.
