A metric cup (250 ml, used in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and many Indian recipes) holds about 6% more than a US cup.
Thick pastes and spreads are spooned in and levelled with a knife.
Also called: preserves, fruit jam.
Weights are for a level US cup (236.6 ml) and level spoons, from USDA FoodData Central household measures. Brands and packing vary by a few per cent; when a recipe gives grams, weigh rather than measure.
1 level US cup of jam weighs about 320 g (11.3 oz). A 250 ml metric cup weighs about 338 g.
1 level tablespoon of jam is about 20 g, and 1 teaspoon is about 6.7 g.
100 g of jam is about 0.31 cups, or 5 tablespoons.
A cup measures volume, not weight. Jam is denser than water, so a cup weighs more (320 g vs 237 g).
