Fully ripe fruits should be stored in the refrigerator at recom-
mended temperatures to slow down the ripening process.
To hasten the ripening process, you can place unripe fruit in
a paper bag that has holes poked in it. Close the bag and set
it on a counter. The fruit will produce ethylene, a gas that
initiates the ripening process. Check the bag each day.
