How to Make Lingonberry Sauce Lingonsylt

  1. Gently rinse the lingonberries under cold water and drain well.
  2. Pick over the berries, removing any stems or leaves.
  3. Place the lingonberries in a medium-sized saucepan.
  4. Add 1/2 cup of water to the saucepan.
  5. Cover the saucepan tightly with a lid and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  6. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 15 minutes, or until the berries have softened and released their juices.
  7. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  8. Add 1 cup of granulated sugar (adjust to your preference based on berry sweetness). Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  9. Allow the sauce to cool completely. The sauce will thicken as it cools. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  10. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
