Roorte Tyttebaer (No-Cook Lingonberry Sauce) - kvalifood.com
The traditional Scandinavian no-cook lingonberry sauce. Just berries and sugar stirred together and left to macerate. Served with meatballs, porridge, pancakes, and game meats.
Ingredients
- 300 g lingonberries (fresh or frozen)
- 100 g granulated sugar
Directions
Combine lingonberries and sugar in a bowl. Stir well. Let sit at room temperature, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the berries release their juice – about 30 minutes for fresh, 1-2 hours for frozen. Transfer to a jar and refrigerate. Thickens as it chills.
Notes
Makes ca. 350 ml.
Sugar is adjustable – more for porridge, less for game.
No thickener needed – lingonberries have natural pectin.
Keeps refrigerated for several weeks and freezes well.
