Fingersop ripeness

Just notice these on the fingersop.  How do I know when they are ripe.

From what I've seen in at least one video about this, the fruit gets a much darker red than what is showing in your photo.

But by allowing them to fully ripen on the plant you chance birds or squirrels, etc., finding them first.  Try bagging them and just keep an eye on them 'til they're ready.

Thanks Paul, I tried one that was soft. I can't describe the taste because the fruit was so small my tastebuds couldn't get a grasp on it :) . This was the first fruiting so hopefully the fruit get a little larger in future.
