Old Measures - Pint & Peck... What the heck?!
Posted: Jun 3, 09:42 AM
This item may be old hat to many old hands but with the pickling season coming on it bears repeating…
- 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon
- 2 tablespoons = 1 oz
- 8 tablespoons =1/2 cup
- 2 cups = 1 pint = 1/2 quart
- 4 cups = 32 ounces = 2 pints = 1 quart
- 4 quarts = 1 gallon
- 8 quarts (dry) = 1 peck
- 4 pecks (dry) = 1 bushel
One afternoon of pickling = a whole winter of delicious eating
