Default Freeze damage in Florida

we had temps down to 27 here in tampa Florida USA last week.
I have about 15 pounds of bananas and 50 lbs of papayas(mexican) on some trees. The foliage is pretty much frozen dead, but the trees look like they will survive.
Any suggestions on how to save the fruit? Neither of them are mature enough to ripen after cutting. I'm thinking it might be good to cut off half or so to give the compromised trees a better chance of ripening the fruit.
