I harvested lots of acorns last year and have been successful in thawing them "gently" by placing them outdoors in the sunshine on a cookie sheet for a while until they are completely dry. They can then be served, shipped or saved safely. I am sure it would also work if they were placed in the oven on a very low temperature until they are completely dry. The mold maker is the moisture.........once it is gone the acorns are as they were when they were harvested.

> Well.... now next time I guess I will know! Such a shame too because most of the ones I froze were nice big fat green ones that they seem to love!!! Maybe this fall we will all have plenty of acorns!!!!

We harvested green acorns last year and have just pulled them out of the freezer and our three are going nuts over these frozen green acorns. They won't even look at any of their other foods.

Rockie loves them frozen also. The problem arose when Julie tried to ship Rockie up a bunch of acorns that she had frozen. They thawed en route and by the time they got here they were not so edible.

Thank you again Julie for your good heart and hopefully this fall we'll have a bumper crop PLUS down there and up here!

>I never thought of that.... it makes sense tho. Laura, you are just going to have to move South! Maybe this will be the year for all of us to have plenty. I am SO glad I read on here last year to collect and freeze them. Sure is nice now money wise and Lord knows Scarlett likes the nice fat green acorns better than most anything. Avacodos and oranges are her next fav I guess.
