If you run to the store at 1pm looking for avocados for dinner\u00a0tonight\u00a0(ahem), and they only have unripe ( hard) avocados you can still make guacamole.<\/p>\n<p>Take the hard avocados and place them in a Ziploc or plastic produce bag. Seal the bag shut. Place the bag in a sunny, warm spot or on the dryer while the dryer is running.<\/p>\n<p>In a few hours the avocados will soften up. It takes about 3 hours and you need a really warm spot to make this work, but it does soften them up enough to make guacamole in time for dinner.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n<h3>You might also like&#8230;<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"entry-title\"><a target = \"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/cooking\/homemade-salsa\/\">Homemade Salsa<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"entry-title\"><a target = \"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/cooking\/mama-jones-chip-and-veggie-dip\/\">Mama Jones\u2019 Chip and Veggie Dip<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"entry-title\"><a target = \"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/cooking\/black-bean-dip\/\">Black Bean Dip<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"entry-title\"><a target = \"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/cooking\/spinach-artichoke-dip\/\">Spinach Artichoke Dip<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"entry-title\"><a target = \"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/cooking\/crock-pot-french-dip-sandwich\/\">French Dip Sandwich: Slow Cooker<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m not a huge fan of guacamole, however many members of my family LOVE it!
