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.
Unlike most fruits, pears must be picked from. the tree before they ripen for best flavor and. texture. Tree-ripened pears do not have the best. quality. If left to ripen on the tree, pears become. coarse and gritty. Pick pears when they are. mature but still firm, and before they fall to the. ground. Buy fresh pears that are fairly firm but not hard. Undersized fruit thatâs not mature may shrink or. shrivel during storage.
