Why measuring raisins by cup goes wrong
Seedless dark raisins weigh 165 grams per cup loose, more if they've settled in the box. Golden raisins (sultanas) are slightly lighter (~150 g/cup) because the lower moisture content makes them less dense.
Practical tips for working with raisins
Raisins that have been in the pantry for a while get hard and grainy. Plump them: pour boiling water (or rum, or warm apple juice) over them and let them sit for 10 minutes. Drain well. They'll return to soft, juicy, and ready to fold into oatmeal cookies or scones. Cinnamon-raisin bread without plumping the raisins first is one of the most common avoidable mistakes in home baking.
Note from this ingredient's record: Seedless dark. Soaking in warm water or rum for 10 minutes plumps them and keeps oatmeal cookies moist.
