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.
