things people ask

• How much does 1 cup of pitted cherries weigh for a pie filling?
  Plan on roughly 200 g per cup of pitted fresh cherries, which is the figure most lattice-top cherry pie recipes assume when they call for 4 to 5 cups of fruit. If you are pitting your own, buy about 25 percent more by weight than the recipe lists, since pits and stems account for around 8 to 10 percent and you always lose a few bruised ones.
• Do sour cherries weigh the same per cup as sweet cherries?
  Close, but sour cherries usually run a touch lighter — often 180 to 195 g per cup — because they are smaller and pack with more air gaps between fruit. Sweet Bing or Rainier cherries fall closer to 200 to 210 g per cup. For clafoutis or jam, the small variation rarely matters; for a precise filling thickener ratio, weigh the fruit.
• How do I measure a cup of cherries if mine are halved versus whole?
  Halved pitted cherries pack denser than whole ones because the cut surfaces nest together, so a cup of halves can weigh 215 to 225 g while whole pitted cherries sit closer to 195 to 200 g. Recipes that say cup tend to mean whole or roughly halved, spooned in. When in doubt, weigh — 200 g per cup is the safest reference.
