Handling Tip Selection The pear should be firm without any dark spots and blemishes on the skin. Pick up the pear and gently press your hand against the top of the pear near the stem end. If the top of the fruit still feels firm, you should store the pear. The pear will continue to ripen. If it gives near the top of the pear, the fruit is ripe and ready to eat. If the pear feels soft anywhere else, the fruit is overripe. Storage The pear should be stored at 32°F - 34°F (0°C - 1°C
