Remove pith bitterness!?

[IJesusChrist]

Oh no.

I've added 4 oranges, minus the peel, to my mead in primary.

Tasted it and its drinkable but has a sour and bitterness that is very noticeable. The high alcohol content does not complement this flavor at all.

Back sweetining will happen but is there any other flavors that I can use to cover up this bitterness? Or any additions that will simmer it down?

Time will do the trick.

Its the answer no one wants to hear, or as Hootie would say:

Time is wastin', time is walking.
You ain't no friend of mine.
I don't know where i'm going.
I think i'm out of my mind, thinkin' about time.

The backsweetening will go a ways to hide it, that and some age and you should be where you want to be.
