Quick Ripening of Fruits

Yesterday a friend of mine and I went Raspberry picking thinking we would get enough to finish our jam for the season.  Unfortunately the vines still had a majority of berries that still needed to ripen.  So for the berries that we got that still had a little way to go, it made me remember this tip.  Apples release ethylene gas which hastens the maturing process of other fruits.  Place an apple in a paper bag with the other fruit overnight and it will speed up the ripening process.
