  7. After a few days there will be mold forming on the top. The pulp will start separating from the seeds. This is what you want. You will also see seeds floating to the top.

  9. When you have a lot of mold on top you are ready to save the good seeds that remain on the bottom. Take the mold and the seeds that floated to the top and throw them out.
  10. Put the remainder in a fine mesh sieve and rinse with water. You want to rinse as much of the remaining pulp away.

You will save money by saving seeds from tomatoes you grew this year, rather than buying plants already started next spring. It is easy to do.
