It did have a pretty decent sized hollow heart. (in my garden that is pretty normal) I then took the seeds out and put them in the big bucket. I pulverized the flesh and let it ferment for a couple of days up to a week. Once the flesh is fully fermented it will be a liquid. I just add some more water and stir. Most of the seeds will sink to the bottom. I then pour off any remaining pulp. Add water again and repeat. The last step is to pour the seeds into a colander and wash thoroughly. With this batch I even rinsed them quickly in some bleach water. Hopefully this will reduce any surface pathogens.
