I agree with Richard but would not let them ripen in a closet as the sap will stain everything after cutting. And I mean EVERYTHING (fabric, clothing, walls, floors - you name it).
Last winter I left 3 bunches to ripen on the plant. It just took longer (10 month for the Blue Java). We had a couple mornings with early frost hours and the bunches were protected with solar bags. The garage is my preferred place to let a bunch ripen that was harvested too early for whatever the reason is.
