How to Ripen a Plum Oct 21st 2012, 22:00 Plums are a fruit for enjoying in the fall season. But a hard plum isn't a pleasant eating experience. If you have hard plums, they can be improved through home ripening, using this simple method. Edit Steps Find a clean paper bag. Empty it of any contents if needed. Place the hard plums inside the paper bag. Place a ripe banana in the bag. (You can also simply leave the plums in the bag without a banana––it will be slower but the plums should still ripen together in the enclosed environment.[1]) Roll or staple the bag together at the top. Place in a fruit bowl or other suitable place for storage. Check regularly for ripening. The banana will give off ethylene, which will fasten the ripening of the hard plums. When checking, push lightly only, to avoid bruising the plums. Eat or cook with once the plums have ripened. Edit Tips If you're at a loss for what to do with your ripe plums, here are just a few ideas: Make an eggless plum cake, bake a deep dish plum and black cherry pie, turn them into prunes or infuse them with vodka. Edit Warnings Don't place unripened plums in the refrigerator! This is how they turn floury and mushy, all without ripening properly. The plums should only be placed in the refrigerator after they have ripened.[2] Edit Things You'll Need Paper bag Ripe banana Plum Edit Related wikiHows How to Pick a Good Mango How to Ripen Kiwi Fruit How to Choose Fruit How to Ripen Peaches Edit Sources and Citations Article Tools Read on wikiHow Email this Article Edit Discuss Media files: 200px-Ripen-a-Plum-Intro.jpg (image/jpeg) 200px-Ripen-a-Plum-Step-1.jpg (image/jpeg) 200px-Ripen-a-Plum-Step-2.jpg (image/jpeg) 200px-Ripen-a-Plum-Step-3.jpg (image/jpeg) 200px-Ripen-a-Plum-Step-4.jpg (image/jpeg) 200px-Ripen-a-Plum-Step-5.jpg (image/jpeg) 200px-Ripen-a-Plum-Step-6.jpg (image/jpeg)
