Cover shells with cool salted water (1 tsp. salt to each qt water), bring to boil, and cook five min. Drain, cover again with fresh water and boil five min. Repeat process about three times till bitter flavor is gone from peel and peel is tender, but not tender sufficient to break apart. Invert shells and drain on a wire rack for at least an hour, preferably overnight.
- Syrup for 10 to 12 Shells
- There must be sufficient syrup to cover and float the fruit. Cook the shells in syrup till syrup gives a jelly test (about 250F.). Let shells stand in syrup overnight, or possibly longer. Reheat and cook 10 min. Cold in syrup till ready to use. Drain before filling with cake mix. Use any fruit cake batter to fill shells. Fill shells about 3/4 full.
