Whats the best way to ripen California peaches, plums and nectarines?
To ripen fruit, place it in a fruit bowl or in a paper bag with the top folded over, at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. Check it at least once a day. When the fruit reaches your preferred texture, either use it or place it in the refrigerator to stop further ripening. Don’t place too-firm fruit in the refrigerator — it won’t continue to ripen there.
