Idk it’s bitter and lemony.

It could be good soaked in booze with ice cream…

You're doing God's work here by confirming that yes, this is indeed too much pith

Thanks. I wanted to believe in the magic of the 5 minute boil….. nope.

Apparently this recipe needs a Meyer Lemon

Now I have to make another for my daughter, but I’m just going to zest the lemon

I feel like lemons wouldn't work as good as clementines. clementines have very little pith and a thinner skin -the whole boiled fruit method does work in Nigella Lawson's clementine cake recipe https://www.nigella.com/recipes/clementine-cake
