Try it in the kitchen

The consortium describes fresh eating, desserts, ice cream, jam and fruit in syrup among the uses. Our suggestion: begin with a ripe fruit on its own, then try slices over vanilla ice cream.

Ripen before refrigerating

The consortium recommends room temperature while fruit ripens, followed by the refrigerator when it is fully ripe. Check each fruit rather than treating every cultivar as ready at the same time.
