Do you love pears but hate waiting for them to ripen? Well, wait no more! Here are 5 easy ways to ripen pears at home quickly so you can enjoy their sweet, juicy goodness in no time.
1. Place in a paper bag with a banana.
One of the quickest ways to ripen pears is to place them in a paper bag with a ripe banana. Bananas release ethylene gas, which speeds up the ripening process of fruits like pears. Simply put the pears and banana in a paper bag, fold the top of the bag to seal it, and leave it on your kitchen counter for a day or two. Check on them regularly, and once they are ripe, you can enjoy them right away.
2. Store in a warm spot.
Pears ripen best in a warm environment. To speed up the ripening process, place the pears in a warm spot in your kitchen, such as near the stove or on top of the refrigerator. The heat will help accelerate the ripening process, and your pears will be ready to eat in a day or two.
3. Microwave for a few seconds.
If you're in a rush and need to ripen your pears quickly, you can try microwaving them for a few seconds. Simply pierce the pears with a fork or knife a few times, place them on a microwave-safe plate, and microwave them for 30 seconds to a minute on high. Check the pears to see if they have softened, and if not, continue microwaving them in 15-second intervals until they are ripe.
4. Put in a brown paper bag with an apple.
Like bananas, apples also release ethylene gas, which helps ripen fruits like pears faster. Place the pears in a brown paper bag with a ripe apple, fold the top of the bag to seal it, and leave it on your kitchen counter for a day or two. The apple will speed up the ripening process of the pears, and soon you'll have ripe, juicy pears ready to eat.
5. Wrap in a newspaper.
If you don't have a paper bag on hand, you can also ripen pears by wrapping them in a newspaper. Simply wrap each pear individually in a sheet of newspaper and place them in a box or basket. Store the wrapped pears in a warm spot in your kitchen, and check on them daily to see if they have ripened. The newspaper will help trap the ethylene gas released by the pears, speeding up the ripening process.
So there you have it – 5 easy ways to ripen pears at home quickly. Now you can enjoy delicious, ripe pears whenever you want. Happy eating!
