Long Live Lingonberries
Lingonberries, akin to blueberries and cranberries, are a lesser-known fruit in the US. Sporting a deep ruby-red hue, they’re rich in antioxidants, magnesium, and vitamins A and C. Their sweet and tangy flavor lends well to jams, syrups, and sauces.
Generally, lingonberries aren’t cultivated for widespread fruit consumption. If you chance upon them, seize the opportunity, although their price tends to reflect their scarcity. Thanks to their acidic properties, they can be preserved for months in a jar of water at room temperature. Picking lingonberries is a beloved activity among Swedish children.
