things people ask

• How many raspberries make a tablespoon?
  Three to four whole berries, depending on size. At 7.5 g per tablespoon, two heaping spoonfuls cover a single-serving smoothie or a slice of cheesecake. For a raspberry vinaigrette, 2-3 tablespoons of muddled berries thickens 1/4 cup of dressing without overpowering the acid — any more and the fruit takes over.
• Is a tablespoon of raspberry jam the same weight as fresh?
  No. Raspberry jam is denser because of the added sugar and reduced water — a tablespoon of jam runs 18-20 g, more than double the 7.5 g of fresh berries. If a recipe lists raspberries by tablespoon for a glaze or filling, check whether it means fresh fruit or jam before substituting; the sugar load is very different.
• How much raspberry purée equals one tablespoon of berries?
  Roughly the same volume but heavier — a tablespoon of strained purée is around 15 g because the air pockets in whole berries are gone. For drinks, dressings, and Bavarian creams that call for purée by the tablespoon, weighing is the cleanest path. Pass the berries through a fine sieve to skip the seeds before measuring.
