If they are close you could try the banana trick. But it doesn't always work on peppers. Just put them in a bag with a ripening banana. The problem I always had with trying to ripen Peppers is they seen to get soft and wrinkly. So ripening them means I only can use them for drying. Since it is your last batch you could try pulling them up by the roots and hanging the plant upside down in a garage or barn. I have done that before. Then simply pull off the dried up peppers that have the color you want. Last option is build a frame and cover it with plastic and a tiny electric space heater with a thermostat. The extra heat might coax a few to ripen.


Edit: When all else fails...Salsa Verde!
