For ice cream: Blend cream, powdered sugar and extracts in large bowl. Gradually fold in ice (or fresh clean snow) until mixture is consistency of ice cream. Fold in nuts. Add reserved pineapple juice to fruit. Blend in orange juice and kirsch. Spoon fruit into pineapple shells. Top with ice cream. Serve immediately. *Can substitute any fresh seasonal fruit and combination of purple and green grapes and red and green apples.
