I have found that wrapping them in newspaper and putting them in a dark place ripens them amazingly fast. My grandmother once sent us some from San Diego and didn't know this. We got a package of mush evn though they were only wrapped three days. She had bought them when they were really hard. Good luck. Beth Katz {seismo,allegra,rlgvax}!umcp-cs!beth
