  • 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. When tablespoon size matters
  • One metric tablespoon of sultanas 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.

Sultanas go into fruit cakes, scones, hot cross buns, and breakfast granola, and recipes flip between cups and grams without notice. One metric cup of sultanas weighs about 165 g (5.82 oz), so a 250 g bag is roughly 1.5 cups. Convert either way when scaling a recipe up or down.

Dried fruit settles in the cup, so a packed cup can weigh 10 to 15 g more than a loose one. Use weight when the fruit ratio drives texture, like a Christmas cake or panettone.

  • sultana raisins

Raisins are the darker cousin of sultanas, made from sun-dried grapes rather than the lighter, sulfur-treated sultana grape. Both weigh 165 g per cup, so swap 1:1 by volume or weight and expect a deeper, more robust flavour from raisins. See raisins in tablespoons.

Craisins are sweetened dried cranberries, lighter (120 g vs 165 g per cup) and tart-sweet rather than honey-sweet. Weigh when swapping and expect a punchier hit in granola, scones, and oatmeal cookies. See craisins 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 sultanas. See dried apricot halves in tablespoons.

Chopped dried apricots are diced into bite-sized pieces, close in weight to sultanas (160 g vs 165 g per cup) but milder and tangier in flavour. Swap 1:1 by volume in breakfast bars and granola. See chopped dried apricots in tablespoons.

Dates are sticky-sweet dried fruit, heavier than sultanas (178 g vs 165 g per cup) and chewier. Swap 1:1 by volume in fruit cakes and oat slices when you want a caramel note, and weigh when the fruit ratio matters. See dates in tablespoons.
