  • These figures use the US cup (240 ml). A metric cup is slightly larger at 250 ml, so it holds a little more. Use the metric cup converter →
  • Cup sizes are not standard worldwide, so the same cup of an ingredient can weigh more or less depending on the country. What is a cup measurement →
  • A tablespoon here is the 15 ml metric standard, about 16.67 to a metric cup, the same size as a UK tablespoon. A US tablespoon is smaller at 14.79 ml, so US cooks measuring with US spoons need slightly more. An Australian tablespoon is larger at 20 ml, so it holds about a third more.

  • A little over or under won't ruin the bake, though it can nudge the final taste or colour.

A bag of dried apricot halves goes into fruit cakes, granola, and trail mixes, and recipes flip between cups and grams without warning. One metric cup of halves weighs about 135 g (4.76 oz), so 200 g of the bag is roughly 1.5 cups. Convert between either when scaling a recipe up or down.

Dried fruit settles in the cup, so the same 1 cup measure can drift from 130 g to 145 g depending on how the halves nest. Use weight when the fruit ratio drives the texture, like a Christmas cake or rugelach.

Got chopped or diced dried apricots instead? They nest tighter, so 1 cup weighs about 160 g rather than 135 g. Use the chopped converter when the recipe specifies the chopped form. See our Chopped Dried Apricots converter.

Craisins are sweetened dried cranberries, smaller and tarter than apricot halves. They pack lighter (120 g vs 135 g per cup), so weigh when swapping and expect a punchy, sweet-tart hit rather than the mellow apricot flavour. See our Craisins converter.

Sultanas are bite-sized golden dried grapes, heavier than apricot halves (165 g vs 135 g per cup) and sweeter. Use the sultanas converter when a recipe calls for them by volume, and weigh when the fruit ratio matters. See our Sultanas converter.

Raisins are bite-sized dark dried grapes, heavier than apricot halves (165 g vs 135 g per cup) and with a deeper caramel-sweet flavour. Use the raisins converter when a recipe calls for them by volume, and weigh when the fruit ratio matters. See our Raisins converter.

Cooking with fresh apricots instead of dried? The fresh-apricot converter handles whole-fruit counts and chopped cups straight from the fruit. See our Apricot converter.
