Description
A raw, two-ingredient lingonberry jam. No cooking and no canning, just berries and sugar left to sit until the sugar dissolves into a syrup.
Ingredients
Units
- 2 cups fresh or frozen lingonberries
- 3/4 cup sugar
Instructions
- Place fresh or frozen lingonberries in a medium-sized bowl. Add the sugar and stir gently to coat the berries.
- Leave the mixture at room temperature, stirring occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved and a syrupy texture forms.
- If you use fresh berries, this takes about 60 minutes, longer with frozen berries as they will thaw during the process.
- Once the sugar is fully dissolved, transfer the mixture to a jar and refrigerate. The jam will keep for up to one week.
Notes
- Use a wide dish rather than a jar if you have one. More surface area means the sugar dissolves faster.
- Fresh berries take about an hour to turn syrupy. Frozen berries take longer, since they release water as they thaw.
- This is a short-life, refrigerator-only jam with no canning step, so plan to use it within the week.
