It also blushes beautifully when left on the tree long enough. I hope I get to taste one again sometime!Alice Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322459333477173574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-39146658904391721602019-10-27T15:22:30.320-04:002019-10-27T15:22:30.320-04:00I can well believe it, knowing their texture!

Ours are soft and mushy unless picked early and under ripe. Flavor's fantastic, fruity, and unique, but wife hates the soft texture, so they're all mine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-13946615685975767602013-11-22T19:18:21.623-05:002013-11-22T19:18:21.623-05:00Juliet, thanks for stopping by!

You put them aside and then they softened--by January/February--something to eat during the long upstate NY winters. Thanks for posting!
