Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh or Frozen Lingonberries
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Start by rinsing the lingonberries under cold running water if you are using fresh berries. If you are using frozen berries, there's no need to rinse them.
In a medium saucepan, combine the lingonberries and water over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Once it reaches a simmer, reduce the heat to low. Let the berries cook for about 10 minutes or until they have started to soften and release their juices.
Stir in the erythritol and lemon juice, mixing well to ensure the sweetener dissolves completely.
Optional: Add the ground cinnamon and stir to combine for an additional layer of flavor.
Let the mixture simmer gently for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature.
Transfer the lingonberry sauce to a serving dish or jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Enjoy your low carb lingonberry sauce as a condiment for meat dishes, on low-carb pancakes, or however you choose!
