Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen lingonberries
- 0.5 cup powdered erythritol
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the lingonberries, powdered erythritol, and water over medium-high heat.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and allow it to simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until the lingonberries have burst.
Add the lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine the flavors.
If you want a thicker sauce, sift the xanthan gum into the mixture, stirring constantly to prevent clumps from forming. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Serve the lingonberry sauce warm or transfer it to a jar and refrigerate for up to one week. Enjoy it over keto-friendly pancakes, muffins, or as a condiment with meats.
