What can be done to ripen a store bought Plum quicker?

Put it in a brown paper bag with an apple, and let it sit for a day or two in a cool dark place like in a cabinet etc.



The apple gives off a gas that will help other fruit to ripen. I know this sounds like an old wives tale, but it actually is true.

What can be done to ripen a store bought Plum quicker?
Put your unripened Plums in a paper bag on the counter for a couple of days. They should ripen nicely and be ready to eat. As fruit ripens it releases a natural hormone called ethylene. The paper bag traps this gas close to the fruit, thus ripening it more quickly, while still allowing some ventilation. But be careful -- your peaches and plums can go from rock hard to mush in a few days if you don't monitor them.



Enjoy!
Reply:most fruits will ripen faster...tomatoes included wrapped in newspaper and put into a brown paper bag works well in just a couple of days
Reply:if you have a rice bin at home that can include the plums inside it, then just place it inside the container, with the rice of course, and it should ripen a lot faster than just leaving it on the counter.
