Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lingonberries
- 120 milliliters water
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Rinse the lingonberries under cold water and remove any debris.
In a medium saucepan, combine the lingonberries and water. Stir to mix.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Once simmering, add the granulated sugar to the saucepan, stirring until completely dissolved.
Add the lemon juice and lemon zest to the mixture, continuing to stir.
Let the sauce simmer gently for about 10 minutes, which will allow it to thicken. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly—it will continue to thicken as it cools.
Transfer the lingonberry sauce into a clean jar or serving bowl. Store in the refrigerator or serve immediately.
