Harvest almost fully ripe fruits for sauce?

radiometer · August 5, 2015

I've got a pound of pink oxhearts that I would really love to cook into a sauce today. I need a bit more. There are a several fruits on the plant that are almost fully ripe, just a bit of orange on the shoulders. Can I pick these to use for a pasta sauce, or will they not taste correct.

I realize this may not get me answers in time, but I figured it couldn't hurt trying.

Mods, please move this if it is not posted in the appropriate forum.
