Pomegranates Anyone?

We have a big pomegranate tree in our backyard. I have had a pomegranate or two in my lifetime, but I have never cooked with them or known anything about what to do with them. I am about to learn I suppose. It came time for us to harvest the pomegranates because many of them were splitting from being so full of juice. We did this for FHE on Monday. Jake and I got all of the pomegranates down and the girls put them in the buckets. They have to be cut from the tree, you can't just pick them off. Plus there are sharp short twigs all over inside the tree and we were all scratched up by the end of it.

This is our harvest. The tree yielded a lot of fruit. Then came the question: now what? We sent the big bucket over to our neighbors house. But we still have lots more pomegranates that we don't know what to do with.
We like to eat the seeds, they were pretty sweet, but also messy. Pomegranate juice stains terribly. Plus, there is not way we'd eat all of those before they went bad. I have been looking online for recipes and tips and have found a lot of suggestions. But first they have to be seeded and/or juiced. The seeds can be frozen for later use. But to juice them you have to take the seeds out first and get the white skins out, then press the seeds through a sieve. Most say not to use an electric juicer because the white skins and the inner seeds will just get chopped up too and make the juice bitter. I saw some pomegranate juicing things online, but they are very expensive and wouldn't get here in time for this season anyways. I set to work this week de-seeding the pomegranates and it has turned out to be arduous, awful work. I did it all day yesterday and I barely got through a bucket and a half. We have every big bowl in the house full of seeds in the fridge and I still have 3 1/2 buckets of pomegranates to go. I haven't even started juicing them yet. It makes me feel like a pioneer doing all of this work because it all has to be done by hand and it takes forever and ever and ever.
What I have learned so far: Pomegranates are a pain!! Sure they are supposed to be one of the "superfoods" and the juice is supposed to be more healthy than Noni juice and a certain amount of it every day is supposed to do all of these things for you. BUT they are a pain! There are muscles in my forearms that are killing me that I didn't know existed. All from sitting over a bucket de-seeding pomegranates. Not to mention my back and neck. I have been working on it all week, and I'm not even half way done!! We will definately be buying a good pomegranate juicer for the next time around. Take my advice: don't plant a pomegranate tree in your yard! Stick to a nice apple or peach tree.
