Really easy.  Wait until the pod reaches that really dark purple, shriveled
stage; then remove it and scrape the seeds out.  Since mine was a pod that I
"liberated" from a world renowned botanical gardens in Germany and smuggled
back into the States, I took no chances and tried all sorts of "fool-proof"
methods.  All of them worked; I had the things coming out of my ears.

Easiest method: surface sow in a container of seed starting mix.  Place in
plastic bag, out of direct sunlight.  *Boom*!.......seedlings.  Temperature
seems to be of little consequense (within reason), and no stratification is
required.  It's also quite easy to root.

An excellent site on Fuchsias can be found here:

http://www.dicom.se/fuchsias/homeone.html

This is the only site that I'm aware of devoted entirely to Fuchsias alone,
and it's outstanding.

BTW, since I'm in zone 4/5 (AKA: Hell) and it's kept in the greenhouse for
the winter (all 10 months of it), I grow it as a hanging plant, of which it
makes an beautiful specimen.
