Select soft ripe berries
Cut in half, a good number of seeds
The ripe seeds are surrounded in gel
The pods can be squeezed to encourage the seeds out, or use your finger and thumb to ease them out in half a cup of water.
It's quite easy to see when all the seeds have been removed.
Viable seeds have sunk to the bottom of the pot, they are covered in water and left to ferment. Time varies with temperature and pod ripeness, these fermented for 8 days.
