things people ask

• How many cherries make up a tablespoon?
  Roughly two small pitted sweet cherries, or one large halved one, fills a tablespoon at around 12.5 g. Maraschinos, which are denser and syrup-soaked, weigh closer to 15 g per tablespoon. For a Manhattan or Old Fashioned, one cherry plus a small spoon of syrup is the standard pour — no measuring needed.
• How much chopped cherry goes on a single bowl of oatmeal or yogurt?
  One to two tablespoons of pitted, chopped cherries — 12 to 25 g — is the usual single-serving topping. That is enough to give every spoonful a piece of fruit without making the bowl watery as the cherries thaw or release juice. If using frozen cherries straight from the bag, drain briefly first or expect the yogurt to turn pink.
• How do I substitute fresh cherries for dried by the tablespoon?
  Dried cherries weigh roughly half what fresh do per tablespoon, around 6 to 8 g, because the water is gone. To swap one tablespoon of dried for fresh in a scone or muffin batter, use about two tablespoons of pitted fresh cherries and reduce other liquid by a teaspoon or two. The flavour is sharper from dried, so taste-adjust sugar.
