On GQT this afternoon, a man was asking about some fruit and was advised to

To store until the fruit softens, as the initial stage of rotting.
This fairly often breaks down the acrid taste (e.g. with medlars
and persimmons), so they become edible.

If your response to bletted fruit is bletch, join the club!
