Ingredients

• 2 cups lingonberries
• 0.5 cup water
• 0.25 cup honey
• 0.5 cup unsweetened protein powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the lingonberries under cold running water and drain them well.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the rinsed lingonberries and 0.5 cup of water. Stir occasionally, allowing the berries to break down and release their juices. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the honey and protein powder until fully dissolved and integrated with the lingonberry mixture.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt to the saucepan, mixing well to combine the flavors evenly.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth to create a slurry.

Step 6

Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the lingonberry mixture while continuously stirring to prevent lumps.

Step 7

Continue to cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to your desired consistency. This should take another 3-5 minutes.

Step 8

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving or transferring to a container for storage.

Step 9

Serve the high protein lingonberry sauce warm or chilled. It's excellent as a topping for pancakes, yogurt, or even as a condiment for savory dishes.
