Ingredients

• 500 grams Fresh lingonberries
• 300 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 milliliters Water
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the lingonberries under cold water and drain them well, removing any stems or leaves.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the lingonberries and water.

Step 3

Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Once simmering, add the granulated sugar to the saucepan and stir until the sugar completely dissolves.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 15 to 20 minutes. The berries should break down and the mixture should thicken.

Step 6

Stir in the lemon juice and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the jam cool slightly.

Step 8

Pour the jam into sterilized jars, leaving a small gap at the top, and seal tightly.

Step 9

Allow the lingonberry jam to cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator. It will continue to thicken as it cools.

Step 10

Enjoy your homemade lingonberry jam within 2 to 3 weeks for the best flavor.
