While I was home in NZ over xmas, I experienced my first DURIAN  Ive been in Japan for 4 years now and never come across one here......until yesterday!!!! Here! In the supermarket!!
So with glee I paid topped dollar rushed it home to my husband (who had never seen one before). We fondled it, tapped it and then couldnt wait any longed...We started hacking at it. Now I was sure the one I opened back in NZ was much more cooperative! Sure enough when we split it in half I realised it wasnt ready   
Ive searched the net to see if I can save it in anyway possible (I did learn how to know when one is ripe...noted). I read you can bake unripe durian into some pretty decent chips, but I dont do baked or even dehydrated so thats no good to me...... Will it die if I leave it to ripen?
Any help on the matter would be so greatly appreciated!
Much love
Sarah
