If you want an inexpensive and succinct guide to saving seeds try "Growing
Garden Seeds" which is available from
http://www.johnnyseeds.com/catalog/index.html for only $1.25 (plus
shipping). It describes the fermenting method that Alice mentioned. I have
used it successfully for years.

This works if you are saving a few seeds.
Fermenting the tomatoes seeds are actually better because it kills disease
and
removes the protective coat over the seeds.

Squeeze a tomato into a container. Let it sit and ferment 2-3 days.
Remove
the scum a rinse the seeds. Dry seeds completely.

If you are intrested in saving seeds, there are two good books I recomend.
The first is Seed to Seed by Suzanne Ashworth and the second is Saving
Seeds
by Marc Rogers. Both books are around 20 dollars apiece.

Is there anything I should do other than remove them from the fruit and
set
them to dry?

Thanks....
