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

Certain fruits need to be bletted before they're fit to eat. That's to say
that they need to ripen to the point of almost but not quite, rotten.
Medlars are a classic example of such treatment.


Thanks. How do you know when they are 'bletted' before they 'go over'?
Experience?
