Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lingonberries
- 125 milliliters Water
- 50 grams Granular Erythritol
- 15 milliliters Lemon Juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Rinse the lingonberries thoroughly under cold water and drain them well.
In a medium saucepan, combine the lingonberries and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Once the mixture starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low and allow it to cook for about 10 minutes, or until the lingonberries start to burst.
Stir in the granular erythritol, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Continue to simmer the sauce on low heat for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly.
Transfer the lingonberry sauce to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Serve as a side with savory dishes like meatballs or pancakes, or as a topping for yogurt and oatmeal.
