Pears do not ripen well on the tree. Pears are harvested when mature, but not yet ripe. Instead, they slowly reach maturity as they ripen from the inside out at room temperature. 

How do you know when the pear has ripened to sweet and juicy perfection? 

While a Bartlett’s skin color brightens as it ripens, most varieties of pears show little change in color.

STORE

If pears are ripe, use them right away or refrigerate for up to 5 days to slow further ripening. If they are firm, leave them at room temperature. Be sure to check them daily to catch them at perfect ripeness. 

You can also arrange them in a fruit bowl and place them on the kitchen counter, dining room table, or even in the living room so you can enjoy their beauty as they ripen. If they are ripening at room temperature near other fruit, like bananas, the natural ethylene they give off will help speed up the ripening process. 

To Avoid Browning
Like many fruits, the flesh of cut or peeled pears will eventually brown. This natural oxidation process, however, does not affect the taste or quality. Browning can be slowed by “acidulating” the cut surfaces with a mild solution of 50% water and 50% lemon juice. Lightly poaching pears will also slow the browning and is a good way to prepare pears for use in salads.
