Ingredients
- 500 grams lingonberries
- 120 milliliters water
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the lingonberries under cold water and remove any debris.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the lingonberries and water. Stir to mix.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Once simmering, add the granulated sugar to the saucepan, stirring until completely dissolved.
Step 5
Add the lemon juice and lemon zest to the mixture, continuing to stir.
Step 6
Let the sauce simmer gently for about 10 minutes, which will allow it to thicken. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly—it will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 8
Transfer the lingonberry sauce into a clean jar or serving bowl. Store in the refrigerator or serve immediately.
