Rob,
They will get sweeter as autumn comes on; I usually harvest mine in early
October (zone 5), when
they are very sweet, though still with a slight mouth-puckering astringency.
They are wonderful
then--sometimes even a tiny bit dried and wrinkled, but all the sweeter for
it.

I've never tried forcing their ripening--let me know if you have success.
