  • 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.

  • One metric tablespoon of raisins weighs about 9.9 grams. A US tablespoon (14.79 ml) holds about 9.8 grams and an Australian tablespoon (20 ml) about 13.2 grams.
  • A little over or under won't ruin the bake, though it can nudge the final taste or colour.

Raisins go into oatmeal cookies, fruit cakes, granola, bread pudding, and rum raisin ice cream, and recipes flip between cups and grams without notice. One metric cup of raisins weighs about 165 g (5.82 oz), so a 250 g box is roughly 1.5 cups. Convert either way when scaling a recipe up or down.

A packed cup of raisins can weigh 10 to 15 g more than a loose one, depending on how the fruit nests. Weighing in grams keeps cookies, scones, and Christmas cakes consistent batch to batch.

Sultanas are the lighter, sweeter cousin of raisins, made from sulfur-treated white grapes. Both weigh 165 g per cup, so swap 1:1 by volume or weight and expect a brighter, honeyed flavour from sultanas. See what 1 ounce of sultanas is in tablespoons.

Craisins are sweetened dried cranberries, lighter (120 g vs 165 g per cup) and tart-sweet rather than caramel-sweet. Weigh when swapping and expect a sharper edge in oatmeal cookies and granola. See what 1 ounce of craisins is in tablespoons.

Dried apricot halves are bigger, leathery pieces (135 g per cup) with a mellow fruit flavour. Use the halves converter when a recipe calls for whole halves rather than bite-sized raisins. See what 1 ounce of dried apricot halves is in tablespoons.

Dates are sticky-sweet dried fruit, heavier than raisins (178 g vs 165 g per cup) and chewier. Swap 1:1 by volume in oatmeal cookies and fruit cakes when you want a deeper caramel note, and weigh when the fruit ratio matters. See what 1 ounce of dates is in tablespoons.

Dried figs are a touch lighter than raisins (150 g vs 165 g per cup) with a seedy crunch and a honeyed sweetness. Swap 1:1 by volume in oat slices, granola, and fruit cakes. See what 1 ounce of dried figs is in tablespoons.
