I have a bag of mixed nuts left over from the holidays. The raw kind in the shell. I heard somewhere that you can freeze them, and I'd like to save them for my macaw. Are they too old to freeze? Do I need to do anything to prepare them, or just put them right in the freezer? How long will they keep (since I won't even get my macaw for another year, probably)? How about whole cranberries...how long will they keep in the freezer? I already have a bag of them in there. Thanks for the help!

Victoria:

Its fine to freeze them now, but don't depend on the bag they came in. Make sure to use a heavy weight freezer bag. I usually store some in my freezer and in empty popcorn cans let over from Christmas gifts.
