Last Sunday, I tried to buy avocados at Trader Joe's for some last minute guacamole. They were frustratingly hard, and I got fed up and just bought three anyway. I ended up using two along with some other, riper specimens purchased in a calmer state, but one was so hard I couldn't even cut it in half to take the pit out. Unfortunately, since I cut into it already, I couldn't really leave it out to ripen, so it's been in the refrigerator all week and it's still hard.

PPK- What do I do? I can't sacrifice this poor avocado. How do I salvage it and let it become a contributing member of a meal?

Fruit won't ripen after refrigeration. I'm sorry to say its gotta go (in the trash).

Yeah, fruit won't ripen in the fridge. You could try throwing it in the microwave on low power for minute intervals and see if it'll do anything, that's what I had to do last week when I was in a similar situation.
