Canarina Seeds

Fermenting the pulp in water for a few days works wonders for tomatoes but
was incredibly ineffective for Aronia.  The seed remained too slippery to
pick up regardless of my process.  Eventually, I used that fact to separate
them by reaching into the water and grabbing everything I could and throwing
it away.  I was left with a clean pile of Aronia seed in the bottom of the
bowl.
