Does anyone know if there is a "trick" to get pears to ripen

[orchid]

a little faster? I'm an impatient person, what can I say.

Put them in a paper bag & roll the top closed

Ah, the old paper bag trick. I wondered if it would work for

pears but it just seemed to easy. I'll give it a try. Thanks

add a banana in the bag

my understanding is that bananas produce the gas faster and in higher quantity and help other ripening fruits. The bag's purpose is to concentrate it.

Take the banana + pear + bunch of cherries > Add Carmen Miranda...shake.
