Lingonberry Recipes
Lingonberry Sauce
This is a simple recipe that goes great over oatmeal, pancakes, or waffles. Also, try it as a substitute for cranberry sauce alongside meat and potato dishes.
2 quarts fresh lingonberries
1 cup water
3 cups sugar, or to taste
Add ingredients to a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly to dissolve sugar. When sauce starts to warm up, mash with a potato masher to release berry juice. Bring to a boil and then simmer about 10 minutes. Serve warm or chilled.
