About Dried Cranberries
Separate clusters and spoon the fruit into a dry cup without pressing. Check the packet for added sugar: sweetened and unsweetened dried cranberries can change a recipe's flavour substantially.
If a recipe calls for rehydrating the fruit, measure dry first and drain as directed afterwards. Chopping distributes smaller bites through cookies, but measure before or after chopping according to the wording.
Tips for measuring Dried Cranberries
- Read the ingredient list for sweeteners and flavourings.

Common mistakes
