Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh lingonberries
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground allspice
Instructions
Rinse the lingonberries thoroughly under cold water and remove any debris or stems.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the lingonberries, granulated sugar, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to low and gently simmer the lingonberries for about 10 minutes, until they soften and release their juices.
Stir in the lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and ground allspice.
Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature.
Transfer the cooled lingonberry sauce to a sterilized jar or airtight container and refrigerate. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a delightful accompaniment to your main dish.
