Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Lingonberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 liter Water
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Semolina flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
1. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the lingonberries and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the berries have softened and released their juice.
2. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl, pressing the berries to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids and return the liquid to the saucepan.
3. Stir the granulated sugar and salt into the lingonberry liquid. Adjust sweetness to your preference, if needed.
4. Gradually whisk in the semolina flour, adding it in a thin, steady stream to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens, about 5–7 minutes.
5. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the porridge to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
6. Using a handheld electric mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the porridge on high speed for 5–10 minutes, or until it turns pale and fluffy.
7. Serve the whipped lingonberry porridge chilled, either on its own or with a splash of milk or a dollop of cream.
