Thanks for all the great tips on testing the ripeness of Asian pears. I'll be out in the orchard at night shining a flashlight to test for transparency, pushing my thumb on the top of the fruit to see is I leave a dent and gently twisting the stem to see if it detaches on its own.

My neighbors already think I'm crazy--plastic bags on all the fruit, wild-turkey-crossing and pesticide-free-zone signs in the orchard have set tongue wagging. So I'll add to my mystic!

Again, thanks for the valuable information. It's what I love most about NAFEX and this listserv.
