things people ask

• How many cups are in a 12-ounce bag of fresh cranberries?
  A 12-oz bag is 340 g, which works out to roughly three cups of whole fresh berries at 114 g per cup. That's why so many sauce recipes call for either one bag or three cups interchangeably — they're the same quantity. If your recipe asks for four cups, plan on a 12-oz bag plus an extra third of one, or about 110 g more.
• Can I substitute dried cranberries cup-for-cup in a muffin or scone recipe?
  No. Dried cranberries pack tighter — about 120 g per cup versus 114 g for fresh — and they bring far less moisture, more sugar, and a chewier texture. Most muffin and scone recipes are written specifically for one or the other. If you're swapping, weigh by gram and reduce the sugar slightly when using dried, since they're sweetened during processing.
• Do I measure cranberries before or after chopping for relish?
  Whole, before chopping. The 114 g per cup figure assumes intact berries with their natural air gaps. Once you pulse them in a food processor for relish, the same mass condenses to closer to three-quarters of a cup. Recipes that say "one cup chopped" usually mean to chop after measuring, so start with whole berries unless the wording is explicit.
