Hereâs what you need to do to ripen your pears: 1  Leave firm, unripe pears at room temperature so that they can ripen. 2  Check the Neck for Ripeness daily, by applying gentle pressure to the neck, or stem end, of the pear with your thumb. If it yields to pressure, then itâs ripe and ready to eat!
Other varieties take on a purple or deep red color when ripe. Press the flesh very gently. It should give, much like a ripe peach, but not be mushy. Leave the fig to ripen longer if the flesh is still hard. Test several fruits to get a point of comparison. Look for signs the figs are drooping on the branch. Unripe figs will stand straight out from the branch, defying gravity, while ripe figs begin to sag downward. Check the fig for signs of a curved stem. Examine the outside of the fruit.
