Dried fruit comparison Table

[Sniper]

To equate the quantity of fresh fruit compared to dried fruit use this table.
Currants,raisins,sultanas multiply by 4
Apples by 6
Apricots by 5 1/2
Bananas by 3
Bilberries by 4 1/2
Dates by 2
Elderberries by 4
Figs by 3 1/2
Peaches by 5 1/2
Pears by 3
Prunes by 4

Also
2 Ltr apple juice equals 9 lb Apples
250g Grape juice concentrate equals 2lb grapes

That's brilliant, thank you Sniper.

For ease of future reference I have taken the liberty of copying this into the Fruit winemaking section and stickied it.

Forgive my stupidity, so if the recipe says 6lb of apples then it'd require 1lb of dried apples etc etc.

Or conversely, if it (the recipe) says 1lb of dried banana's then it'd need 3lb of fresh ?

Is that how it's worked out ?

It's to do with water contents.
Yes your calculation is correct.
