Can I assume that testing for pear ripeness is the same?
Pears are slightly different in that you generally pick pears under
ripe, whilts still firm and allow to ripen. That way they will keep if
kept cool. If picked ripe they rot from the inside, so when you cut
them open the core is rotten, but the outside appears fine.
