how do you know when your pears are ripe
Hereâs 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 itâs ripe and ready to eat!
