(Do not wash berries and cherries until you are ready to use them, however.) Most fruits should be stored in lower humidity. Fully ripe fruits should be stored in the refrigerator at recommended temperatures to slow down the ripening process. Unripe fruits should be left to ripen at room temperature, in a container that allows for air circulation. To hasten the ripening process, you can place unripe fruit in a paper bag that has holes poked in it. Close the bag and set it on a counter. The fruit will produce ethylene, a gas that initiates the ripening process. Check the bag each day. Discard any fresh fruits that are moldy or have other signs of spoilage and wipe out the refrigerator compartment. Refer to the list of ethylene sensitive and ethylene producing vegetables and fruits. * Sensitive to chill injury, a cause of spoilage. Damage may not be apparent until the fruit is returned to a warmer temperature. NOTE: See food preservation guide for complete instructions on freezing fruits. Recommended freezer storage temperature is 0˚F (-18˚C). 32
