LIQUID TO DRY MEASUREMENTS

[kloofnek]

I am making a compote which tells me to make a syrup with one tenth of the water to the sugar...how do I know what one tenth is in liquid measurement to ounces or grams?
Help please...am doing it now!!!

I usually use 1 gram = 1cc

I'd just judge it by volume. I do quite a bit of cooking and baking and I must confess I usually just estimate the quantities and it always works out fine

[dickythecook]

Or 1 litre = 1 kilo

1 gram of water is 1 cc so it is a direct comparison as long as you work in grams
1 liter water = 1 Kg
1 g water = 1 cc

That's all correct but I read it that the recipe asks for water and syrup to be used in the ratio 1:10 and she needs to know if that's by volume or weight. Maybe there isn't much difference

thank you so much..I did wonder if it worked on the basis of 1cc to 1 gram.Never done this recipe before so did not want to guess it.Don`t do much baking etc. these days...used to many moons ago.Now it is just cooking meals of the day etc...lazy !!!!

Oops- slight typo.

another question,I do put the compote in the sterilized jars hot,that is:hot jars and hot compote.

Factor30.if i kilo of sugar is used...how much water?

[Old_Geezer]

A tenth of a kilogram is 100 grams, so from what I read above that would be 100 cc ?

I'm guessing but your compote will be hot, the jars hot, I suspect it wouldn't hurt if used hot or if you waited until both cooled down.
