About Jam
Jam is fruit cooked down with sugar until it sets. It is dense and high in sugar, which is why one cup weighs 320 grams, much more than a cup of water. Whole-fruit preserves with large pieces weigh a little less per cup than smooth jams, because the pieces leave gaps.
Common cup amounts for Jam
| Cups | Grams |
|---|---|
| 1/4 cup | 80 grams |
| 1/3 cup | 107 grams |
| 1/2 cup | 160 grams |
| 2/3 cup | 213 grams |
| 3/4 cup | 240 grams |
| 1 cup | 320 grams |
| 1 1/2 cups | 480 grams |
| 2 cups | 640 grams |
Measuring Jam well
Jam is dense and sticky. Level it off with a spatula, and measure jam after oil if the recipe uses both, so it releases cleanly.

Measuring Jam in spoons
Level jam off with a spatula after spooning it in, and press out any large fruit pieces that stick up above the rim. Smooth jam measures more evenly than chunky preserves, because whole fruit pieces leave gaps in the spoon.
Spoon amounts for Jam
One tablespoon of jam weighs 20 grams and one teaspoon weighs 6.7 grams. These values are derived from the same grams-per-cup value used on this page, so they agree with the cup chart above; they are not separate measurements.
| Spoons | Grams |
|---|---|
| 1 teaspoon | 6.7 grams |
| 1 tablespoon | 20 grams |
| 2 tablespoons | 40 grams |
| 3 tablespoons | 60 grams |
| 1/4 cup | 80 grams |
For amounts smaller than a teaspoon, or for baking where a few grams matter, weigh the ingredient instead of spooning it. Spoons are best for everyday cooking, where a gram or two either way changes nothing.
