About measuring raisins
Raisins are dried grapes, small and slightly sticky, so they settle into a cup fairly densely, giving about 165 grams per US cup. They clump together, which means a cup can vary depending on how much you press them in. In fruited breads, oatmeal cookies and mincemeat, the ratio of fruit to dough shapes both sweetness and texture, so weighing keeps your loaf from being either sparse or overloaded with fruit.
Raisins clump, so a pressed cup holds more than a loose one. Weigh for even fruit distribution.
