Kousa berry processing

Does anyone have a successful way to harvest and process kousa berries?  

Chickens process them pretty well into eggs…

what are you trying to make? do you need seeds and skin separated out or just the skin?

The only way I can think of using them is to make a jam, or leather.  I could probably collect a few gallons of berries.  They are mostly husk and seed, but they have a little bit of flesh and juice with a nice flavor. Maybe use a wine press? I don't have one but that's all I can think of.

if you let them sit for a few days/week after picking so they are very ripe you can run them through a food mill. I use the pulp to make a pudding (just add a bit of honey or maple and a splash of vanilla) can also be used in cookies or cakes as some of the wet ingredients. They add a nice tropical taste to the north

I've just eaten them out of hand lol

Depending on your preferences, you could always use them for infusing vinegar. I personally don't know how much flavor they will impart but I have always been partial to using vinegar infusions to mop up excess fruits. If you have the chance, including them during fermentation will produce more complex and nuanced flavors as the microbes act on the fruit as well. Good luck!
