I have not tried this for myself, as my trees are not bearing yet, but I have heard this from multiple sources. It certainly sounds like an easy way to gauge ripeness. Try it and let us know how it works.

Is this for real?  What an interesting way to gauge ripeness.

You can go out at night and place a flashlight right up against the fruit. They will become very translucent when ripe.
