Dear Don, Pears ripen from the inside out, so you canât judge their ripeness by looking at the skin. To test if a pear is ripe, apply gentle pressure near the stem end. If it gives slightly, itâs most likely ready to be eaten. Pears are one of the few fruits that donât ripen successfully on the tree.
Ripening Temperatures. After the chill period, pears ripen best between 65 and 75 degrees F. Oregon State University Extension indicates that Bartlett pears take only four to five days to ripen, while Anjou takes up to 10 days. Both Bosc and Comice pears need between five and seven days to ripen. The days indicated for ripening are a guide but not law. Pears ripen faster when they get a longer chill period and take longer if the chill period was cut short. The best way to tell is to press your finger into the flesh near the stem.
