RE: How long can spiral ham stay in refrigerator? I bought a Publix Grocery Store brand Ham on Saturday 11/17 for thanksgiving and was wondering how long I could keep it in the refrigerator before Thanksgiving 11/22? Should I freeze it?
Plums are generally in season somewhere in the United States from the end of May all the way into October. The varieties that have their origins in Japan ripen first, and the European varieties, which we usually refer to as prune plums, ripen later.
This is not the case with pears. If pears are allowed to ripen on the tree, their flesh can become gritty and hard. Pear harvesting should be done between August and September, but if you have a keen eye, you can watch for signs of when your pears are ready to be harvested. The harvesting and storage process for pears requires little more than time, and some crates to put the pears in.
