How actually does one best remove seeds from osage orange? This year we have
400 lbs of "oranges" so will be doing quite a bit of work.  Last year we
froze them, let them "rot" sort of, mushed it all around and came out with
something more or less useable - but that was only about 50 pounds
worth..... I have read about letting them ferment - but wonder how long,
etc. etc.
