How many cups of cherries equals one pound?

Answer 1

1lb is 16oz.

8oz in a cup

You need 3lbs (or 48oz). To be more precise when measuring berries, etc, use a postal scale.

This is incorrect...the answer above is comparing ounces of weight and volume. They are not the same. 1 ounce of volume of different substances will have different weights (ie 1 oz of volume does not equal 1 oz of weight). Unfortunately, I don't know the average weight (in lbs or ounces) of a cup (8oz volume) of cherries. This probably changes quite a bit due to water content and whether or not they still have stems and pits.

Answer 2

one pound fresh cherries equals 21/2 - 3 cups pitted cherries one pound frozen cherries equals approximately 3 cups
