might be too late now, but put a banana nearby...it gives off some sort of gas that causes fruit to ripen...ever notice if you have a fruit bowl and theres a banana in it...other fruit (if it lasts that long) goes off rather quick...hope it helps for next year....heard of putting them in a brown paper bag in fridge works, but havent tried that...stick to the banana method

Thanks for your idea,never heard of that one.
Shouldn,t be a problem as bananas are one of my staples!
Have a good holiday season!
Thanks,
Dobson

You can also use brown paper bags.

no probs...also another purpose for bananas...when you are munching them, save the skin, chop into little pieces and dig into the soil when u are planting roses....see, u like the bananas and the roses like the skins! take care
