Craisins are sweetened dried cranberries, a sticky-sweet pantry staple for trail mix, oatmeal cookies, grain salads, and stuffing. One metric cup (250 ml) of craisins weighs about 120 grams or 4.23 ounces. When a recipe lists craisins in cups but you only have scales, converting by weight keeps the fruit-to-batter ratio right.

Dried cranberries clump and nest unevenly, so a packed cup can weigh 10 to 15 grams more than a loose one. Weighing in grams gives consistent results across cookies, granola, and bread loaves.

Dried apricot halves are larger, leathery pieces (135 g per cup) compared with chewy bite-sized craisins (120 g per cup). Swap by weight if a recipe asks for halves, and expect mellow apricot flavour rather than the sweet-tart hit craisins bring. See dried apricot halves in US cups.

Chopped dried apricots are diced into bite-sized pieces, similar in scale to craisins but heavier (160 g vs 120 g per cup) and milder in flavour. Swap 1:1 by volume in cookies or granola, and weigh when the fruit ratio matters. See chopped dried apricots in US cups.

Sultanas are golden dried grapes, heavier than craisins (165 g vs 120 g per cup) and honey-sweet rather than tart. Swap 1:1 by volume in granola and scones when you want a mellower fruit note, or weigh when the ratio matters. See sultanas in US cups.

Raisins are dark dried grapes, heavier than craisins (165 g vs 120 g per cup) and caramel-sweet rather than tart. Swap 1:1 by volume in oatmeal cookies and granola when you want a deeper fruit note, or weigh when the ratio matters. See raisins in US cups.

Dates are sticky-sweet dried fruit, much heavier than craisins (178 g vs 120 g per cup) and caramel-sweet rather than tart. Weigh when swapping in cookies and trail mix, and expect a chewier, mellower fruit note. See dates in US cups.
