Example: using jam or preserves in a recipe
If a recipe asks for 1 1/2 cups of jam or preserves, that is 1.5 x 340 g, or about 510 g. If a recipe gives 200 g and you only have cups, divide 200 by 340 to get about 5/8 cups.
How to measure jam or preserves
Thick spreads trap air pockets when you spoon them in. Press the jam or preserves into the cup, level it and scrape it out with a spatula. Weighing into a bowl is much easier than scraping a cup.
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.
