Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

Combine lingonberries and water in a heavy-bottomed pot. (2 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. (5-10 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

As the mixture boils, skim off any foam that rises to the surface using a spoon. (2 minutes)

04

Step
1 mins

Stir in the sugar, ensuring it dissolves completely. (1 minute)

05

Step
5 mins

Return to a rapid boil and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the jam reaches your desired consistency. To test, place a small spoonful on a chilled plate; it should set quickly. (5-7 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. (5 minutes)

07

Step
2 mins

Wipe the jar rims clean, then cover with sterilized lids and screw on the rings. (2 minutes)

08

Step
10 mins

Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure a proper seal. (10 minutes)

09

Step

Once cooled, check the seals. Refrigerate after opening.

For a smoother jam, you can use an immersion blender to slightly break down the lingonberries after they've softened.
Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference, depending on the tartness of the lingonberries.
Sterilize jars and lids by boiling them in water for 10 minutes before filling.
If you don't have lingonberries, cranberries can be used as a substitute, although the flavor will be slightly different.
