I suggest eating the fruit and spitting out the seeds if you have a small quantity like that. No sense in wasting the fruit anyways and I think spoilage is more likely to be a problem with the fruit of the aril still intact.

When I did a large quantity for a special project I put arils into a blender (I put duct tape on the blades of the blender) and put in lot of water and that chopped up the flesh of the arils well so that seed separation was easy. They seem to store well, though I have limited experience with that. I started seeds last winter in Jiffy pots and then transplanted them into larger pots and they grew well.
