1⁄2 cup    raisins    125 mL

1⁄2 cup    chopped dried apricots     125 mL

1⁄2 cup    chopped dried pineapple    125 mL

1⁄2 cup    salted peanuts    125 mL

1⁄2 cup    salted cashews or almonds    125 mL

1⁄4 cup    dried sweet or sour cherries   50 mL

1⁄4 cup    dried strawberry slices     50 mL
