Ingredients

• 1 cup lingonberries
• 1 cup cranberries
• 2 cups strawberries
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 cup water
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the lingonberries, cranberries, and strawberries under cold running water. Remove any stems or leaves from the strawberries and slice them into halves or quarters if large.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the lingonberries, cranberries, and strawberries. Add the water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 3

Stir occasionally and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the cranberries begin to pop and the strawberries start to soften.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the saucepan. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The conserve should thicken and reach a jam-like consistency.

Step 6

To test the consistency, place a small spoonful of the conserve on a chilled plate. Run your finger through it; if it holds its shape and doesn’t run, it’s ready.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the conserve cool for 10 minutes. Transfer it to sterilized jars for storage or serve immediately.

Step 8

Store the conserve in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or process the jars for long-term canning following proper canning procedures.
