Storing Apple and Pear Seeds

[TheSeedObsesser]

I keep getting this horrible feeling that I'm wasting something each time I throw an apple or pear core away. Can the seeds be stored dry or do they absolutely need to be kept moist? I'm aware that they'll need a cold period to germinate and that they won't be true-to-type.

Why not store them wet in your freezer? That's what I've done with crabapple seeds and they germinated.

Forgot to mention that my parents don't really appreciate seeds in the freezer.

Even if I could, they'd probably get lost in the mountain of duck and chicken carcasses (chest freezer).
