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.
