Squeeze everything into a jar. For cherry types, I just fill the jar with the whole fruit and use a thick wooden rod to crush all the fruit.

Let it sit for a few days (not really more than 4).

Fill the rest of the way with water and the garbage floats and the seeds sink. Pour it off and then top up again. Repeat this until the water is crystal clear and the seeds are all the bottom.

I then put the seeds through a screen strainer and then dump onto a plate and spread them around, wicking away any excess water, and then put them under a gentle fan. They are then mostly dry within 12 hours and within 24 hours they are completely bone dry.

You may have to use something to scrape the seeds off the plate because they will stick.
