Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh lingonberries
- 300 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 milliliters Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Rinse the lingonberries under cold water and drain them well, removing any stems or leaves.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the lingonberries and water.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once simmering, add the granulated sugar to the saucepan and stir until the sugar completely dissolves.
Lower the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 15 to 20 minutes. The berries should break down and the mixture should thicken.
Stir in the lemon juice and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the jam cool slightly.
Pour the jam into sterilized jars, leaving a small gap at the top, and seal tightly.
Allow the lingonberry jam to cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Enjoy your homemade lingonberry jam within 2 to 3 weeks for the best flavor.
