Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen lingonberries 300g
- ¾ cup white sugar 150g
- 2 ounces water (or you can add up to 6 ounces for a very thin consistency)
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium-low heat, add 2 ounces of water and 2 cups of lingonberries.
- Add in ¾ cup of sugar and stir to dissolve. Allow lingonberries to simmer for 10-15 minutes to thicken the sauce until the desired consistency is reached. Add sugar and water to suit your personal preferences. After consistency is reached, remove from heat and set aside to cool before digging in.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days, and freeze for up to 1 year.
Notes
- Sweeten to taste!
- Add more or less water to reach your desired consistency. We use a thinner sauce for Swedish meatballs, but often use a thicker sauce for topping toast.
