I read Keith's reply and I have made those fireballs...they are 
good..make the recipe when he posts it.

You can pull the dead vines and hang the vine in a sunny window and some 
of the more ripe ones will ripen.  They will also ripen off the vine. 
FGT are a favorite, you should definitely make some to remind yourself 
of home.
