Strawberries (Sliced)

Strawberries are naturally irregular. A cup of whole berries is mostly air gaps and weighs very little. A cup of sliced berries settles and weighs significantly more. If you're making jam or pie, using the wrong volume measurement throws off your sugar/fruit/pectin ratio. Weight is the only constant.

Weigh for salads, desserts, or fillings; sweeten and rest to macerate if desired.
