things people ask

• How many grams are in a cup of dried, sliced apricots?
  A level cup of dried, sliced apricots weighs 128 g. That figure assumes the slices fall in loosely — spoon them in, don't press. For a pavlova topping or a stovetop apricot compote, 1 cup at 128 g gives you a fruit layer thick enough to hold its shape against cream or yoghurt without going slumpy.
• Why does my recipe say 165 g per cup instead of 128 g?
  Recipes calling for chopped or diced dried apricots cite roughly 165 g per cup because the smaller pieces nestle together with less air between them. Sliced apricots — long, flat ribbons of fruit — leave more gap, so the same cup holds less weight. Match the prep your recipe asks for; switching cut without re-weighing skews the fruit ratio.
• How much does a cup of apricots soaked overnight in liqueur weigh?
  Start by measuring the dry slices: 1 cup goes in at 128 g. After an overnight soak in brandy or amaretto for fruitcake, the slices plump and the weight roughly doubles, depending on how much liquor they drink. For accurate baking, weigh the dry fruit before soaking and treat the soaking liquid as a separate liquid ingredient.
