How Much Is 1.5 Cups of Dried Cranberries in Ounces?
1.5 cups of dried cranberries equals 6.35 oz. Dried cranberries has a density of 120g per cup (120g per cup), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 1.5 cups of honey would be 17.99 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.5 cups of dried cranberries
- 1 cup of dried cranberries = 120g
- 1.5 × 120 = 180g
- Convert grams to ounces: 180 ÷ 28.3495 = 6.35 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Dried fruit weights vary with moisture content. Freshly opened packages weigh more than fruit that has been exposed to air and dried further.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
