How about just planting them? There are all kinds of natural fungicide agents in the soil. Also one tsp. or chlorine in a gallon of water will also remove much, but not prevent returning mold. Removing all flesh that supports mold should also reduce mold.

I must confess my experiernce is limited with cherry seeds, but have successfully started from seed. And also had a mold problem.  NO NOT STORE TOO WET!
