I am such an idiot...can I fix this?

[HiccupHaddockHorrendous]

I really must be the world's worst baker

First instruction of clementine cake recipe says put clementines in a pan and boil for 2 hours. Doesn't say anything about whether to peel them or not so I peel them.

Second instruction - blend clementines, skin, pith and all

Ds has suggested chucking the peel in the pan or option 2 is eat 5 clementines and chuck in the 4 remaining unpeeled clementines.

HAve you already boiled them or not?

[Giraffeski]

Only prob with boiling skin etc separately is that a lot of juices and oils etc will leach out into the water.

[HiccupHaddockHorrendous]

They've been in the pan about 10 minutes.

Chuck the skin in, I don't think it will make a huge amount of difference

[HiccupHaddockHorrendous]

Apologies for the dramatic post yesterday!!! I have withdrawn my title of World's worst, idiotic baker...the skin got chucked in to boil and the cake was good

It would have said "Peel them" if you needed to.
