- 2 cups fresh lingonberries
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground allspice
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the lingonberries thoroughly under cold water and remove any debris or stems.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the lingonberries, granulated sugar, and water.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Step 4
Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to low and gently simmer the lingonberries for about 10 minutes, until they soften and release their juices.
Step 5
Stir in the lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and ground allspice.
Step 6
Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature.
Step 8
Transfer the cooled lingonberry sauce to a sterilized jar or airtight container and refrigerate. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a delightful accompaniment to your main dish.
