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.

Perhaps this fruit should be treated like a tomato that is used for seeds.

'Ferment' it in water, carefully pouring off the pulp and water each day

that

becomes loose.

Keep repeating until only the seed is left. Dry the seed on a paper coffee

filter

so it does not stick.

I've not done this with Canarina fruits but it works great for tomatoes.

I got around to looking at the fruit from my passiflora caerulea (blue

passion

flower) yesterday - a lot of seed, covered in sticky material.
It is said to be important to remove this because it inhibits germination.

I put them in a sieve and ran water over them, and generally messed about
ineffectively.

Getting to the question which my be relevant, is there some substance

which

digests this kind of material?
