things people ask

• How many grams in a tablespoon of dried, sliced apricots?
  A level tablespoon of dried, sliced apricots weighs 8 g, which is one-sixteenth of the 128 g cup. At this scale you'll usually be chopping the slices smaller anyway — into granola, a Middle-Eastern rice pilaf, or a scone dough — so you're really weighing 8 g of finely chopped fruit, not whole slices crammed into the spoon.
• How many tablespoons of chopped apricots go into a batch of granola?
  For a standard 4-cup oat base, 4 to 6 tablespoons of finely chopped dried apricots — that's 32 to 48 g — distributes evenly without clumping. Stir them in after baking so the residual heat softens the fruit slightly while the oats stay crisp. Adding before baking risks the apricot edges scorching and turning bitter.
• How much chopped apricot does a stuffing or pilaf need?
  A pilaf or lamb stuffing for four to six people typically wants 3 to 4 tablespoons of chopped dried apricots, which lands at 24 to 32 g. That's enough fruit to thread sweetness through every forkful without turning the rice or stuffing dessert-like. Mince them small enough that they cook evenly with the grain or breadcrumb base.
