    Preparing seeds from fresh tomatoes

    I want to take seeds from my Mortgage Buster/Lifter tomatoes and get them ready for planting next year. I haven't the foggiest idea of how to do this. Do I squeeze the seeds out then lay them out on a paper towel to dry? Do I dry them in my food dehydrator? Any ideas out there?
