My experience is that they hold well in the fridge, and ripen well at room
temperature in a paper bag. But then, I may be starting with riper fruit.
I must admit that I didn't put them in paper bags. Frankly, I've been so
swamped with fruit that I DIDN'T want them to ripen quickly.
But my plums ripen so fast on the counter that I can't get them eaten
before they rot (my refrigerator is full of garden produce), so it's
been a surprise to see the pluots apparently change not at all. :-)
Thanks, Stephen!
