Storage Tips
Airtight container. Lasts 6 months at room temperature, 1 year refrigerated.
Baking Science
65% sugar by weight. Absorb moisture from batter, so soaking plumps them and prevents them from drying out your bake.
Recipe Context
For purees: moisture differences can thin batter unexpectedly.
For dried fruits: hydration level impacts chew and spread.
For fruit swaps: verify sweetness and acidity changes in the final bake.
Common Pitfalls
- Switching brands without re-checking weight can change texture and bake time.
- Using volume-only measurements for dense ingredients can overshoot recipe targets.
Brand Variance & Measuring Method
Baseline reference: 1 cup raisins = 160g. In real kitchens, a practical range is usually 149g-171g per cup (7% band).
Why this happens: water content and texture vary by ripeness, processing, and brand.
