Is there anything I can do to improve the fruit? Any advice is greatly

No idea to be honest. Most of the ones we buy in the shops are rather
tasteless or yuck.

Just a suggestion to consider the fruit at different stages for pickles or
whatever. Note, it might blend/puree to make a sauce rather than looking
at solid chunks in stuff.

Have you tried different ways of cooking it? BBQ, micowave, etc.

As to flavour, suggests something missing.
Do they require regular watering? frigging oranges
Might be something as simple as wrong pH. do you have a kit?

What sort of soils are you on? Clay?, try scattering gypsum and watering
it on. May take a couple of years.

I'd also try mulch/compostig the drip line to see if that helps.

You could also try packets of the various trace elements, and nutrients
scattered in quarter circle segments around the drip line and see if any
one in particular helps.

If you have productive trees, it is a shame to cut them down.

Roast it like pumpkin but b4 it ripens. Not tried it myself but have had
good reports.
