Measuring Tips #2

I ran across a recipes where one called for 1/4 cup of chopped cherries. I asked myself, "how many cherries make 1/4 of a cup?" Here is my answer.

About 15 cherries will equal 1/4 cup chopped

Another recipe I wanted to work with called for 8 oz. of chocolate chips. Quick thinking will tell you 1 cup... incorrect. Below is the answer to this measurement.

1 1/4 cups of chocolate chips will equal 8 oz. chocolate chips (don't be fooled by the cup measuring 8 oz. Remember chips aren't liquid)
