Sweet Oranges Congo - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 california oranges, cut in 1 inch slices then in 1/2-inch squares (thick skinned)
1 cup chopped dates
1/2 cup chopped peanuts
1/3 1/3 cup Curacao or 1/3 cup orange juice

Preparation

Blend all together.
Divide 1 cup MOIST SHREDDED COCONUT into 8 dessert sauce dishes (2 Tbs. or 1 oz. each).
Make a hole in the center of the coconut so that it forms a rim.
Fill centers with ORANGES CONGO, dividing above mixture evenly.
Add more brandy or orange juice if the mixture is not moist enough.
NOTE:
Set in the reridgerator to cool but this is not neccessary. Needed time for \"cooking\" in the recipe format here.
OPTIONAL:If you need a dessert in a hurry, prepare this dessert with canned mandarin oranges.
OPTIONAL: Another variation is to stuff baked apples with the above mixture when they are about half done.
