Sleep Need help converting a recipe...

I copied this recipe from another webb site and it sounds good but I can't figure out how to convert the ingredients list.

CHERRIES 'N' CREAM MUFFINS

2 oz All-purpose flour 4 pounds
1/5 lb Brown sugar
2 oz Granulated sugar
1/3 oz Baking powder
1/3 tbsp Salt
1/3 lbs Frozen unsweetened tart cherries
1/3 quarts Milk
1/5 quart Vegetable oil
2 1/3 oz Whole eggs, slightly beaten
1/50 cup Almond extract
1 1/2 oz Slivered almonds
1/3 oz Granulated sugar

1. Combine flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl; mix well.
2. Chop cherries while still frozen in a food processor.
3. Combine milk, oil, eggs and almond extract; mix well.
4. Add milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until ingredients are moist.
5. Stir in frozen chopped cherries.
6. Combine chopped almonds and sugar.
7. Portion batter with No. 16 scoop into well-greased muffins pans.
8. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon chopped almond mixture over batter.
9. Bake at 350 degrees F 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Let cool in pans 5 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely.

ehhh? - if your talking imp to metric then 1 pound = approx 500g. Im not really sure as to imp liquid measures are - possibly wrong, but i think 14fl oz is pretty close to 375ml (or the standard soft drink can size).

But as to any other conversions, im afraid you may have to be a little more specific.

This is a rather strange-looking recipe and I would guess that it has already been converted in some way because some of the measurements look very funny. I´ve cooked a lot from both American, British Imperial and metric recipes and I´ve never before seen anything like "1/50 cup Almond extract" - that, however, is close enough to 1 teaspoon.

A pound is 454 grams, an imperial ounce is 28.4 milliliters. If you tell me what you want converted and into what measurements, I can probably help.

Sorry I can't be more specific. These measurements are weird. I ask for clarification at the other webb site and there was no response.

I found the recipe - or a large-scale version - at:
http://www.cherrymkt.org/recipes/rec...#anchor4217569

I would guess the recipe you have was scaled down from this one - that would explain some of the mysteries. Look it over and see if it makes the smaller scale recipe any clearer.
