This is my first visit here and I am enjoying all the questions and recipes.

I have left over frozen cranberries and the recipe calls for 12 ounces; but I don't know how many cups will equal 12 ounces.

I don't have a small scale to measure out the amount I need in ounces.

Hope this is clear.

TIA

! cup is 8 ounces and and another half of a cup is 4 ounces = 12 ounces = 1 1/2 cups

Welcome @Flatbush 

Here is what I found online 

A 12-oz bag of cranberries = approximately 3 cups of berries. A 12-oz bag of cranberries = approximately 2 1/4 cups of “chopped” berries. One serving = 1/2 cupfresh berries. One serving = 1/4 cup dried berries.

@Flatbush  If you're making cranberry sauce the recipe is simple and is on the back of your bag. You didn't mention what you want to do with your bag of berries but again, you'd use the entire bag of to make sauce - this doesn't really make that much either but a nice amount for a side on your table.

A bag of frozen cranberries is sold by weight, so 12 oz means 3/4 of a pound.  A measuring cup is marked off on fluid ounces.  Not the same thing at all.  I wish that could be changed.

Could you just pour the berries into a measuring cup?

King Arthur Flour has a handy-dandy chart of various common ingredients with volume and weight equivalents.  I refer to it all the time.  I very seldom use volume measurements since I got a scale.  Now its grams all the way.

Thank you every one for your help. I bookmarked

the site w/ the measurements. It will be  helpful when I have a question. I will save the cranberries for muffins, since I don't have enuf for sauce.
