1/4 cup of currants is about 36 g, 1/3 cup is about 47 g, 1/2 cup is about 71 g, 2/3 cup is about 95 g, 3/4 cup is about 106 g and 1 cup is about 142 g (5.0 oz). One tablespoon is about 8.9 g and one teaspoon about 3.0 g.
Example: using currants in a recipe
If a recipe asks for 1 1/2 cups of currants, that is 1.5 x 142 g, or about 213 g. If a recipe gives 200 g and you only have cups, divide 200 by 142 to get about 1 3/8 cups.
How to measure currants
Dried fruit and coconut pack differently depending on size and moisture. Chop it first if the recipe says chopped, and press it lightly into the cup. Very dry or very sticky pieces can change the weight, so treat the figure as a guide.
Where these weights come from
Weights follow the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart (rounded). Brands and measuring methods vary, so treat results as close estimates.
