How to Save Seeds
Tomatoes are primarily self-pollinating, so separating varieties by approximately 50 feet is generally sufficient for maintaining seed purity.
Harvest fully ripe tomatoes for seed saving. Fruits may even sit for several days after harvest before processing the seeds.
Cut ripe tomatoes in half and scoop the seeds and pulp into a mason jar or container with a small amount of water. Seal loosely and place the container in a warm location out of direct sunlight for fermentation.
Allow the mixture to ferment for approximately 5 to 7 days. During this process, mold and nonviable seeds will rise to the surface while healthy seeds settle to the bottom.
Carefully pour away the floating material and strain the good seeds through a fine mesh strainer. Spread seeds onto paper towels or mesh screens to dry completely, turning them occasionally to prevent sticking.
