Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh or Frozen Lingonberries
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Start by rinsing the lingonberries under cold running water if you are using fresh berries. If you are using frozen berries, there's no need to rinse them.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the lingonberries and water over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Once it reaches a simmer, reduce the heat to low. Let the berries cook for about 10 minutes or until they have started to soften and release their juices.
Step 4
Stir in the erythritol and lemon juice, mixing well to ensure the sweetener dissolves completely.
Step 5
Optional: Add the ground cinnamon and stir to combine for an additional layer of flavor.
Step 6
Let the mixture simmer gently for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature.
Step 8
Transfer the lingonberry sauce to a serving dish or jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Step 9
Enjoy your low carb lingonberry sauce as a condiment for meat dishes, on low-carb pancakes, or however you choose!
