Method

Rinse the berries

Rinse the Lingonberries under cold running water, pick out any stems or bruised berries, and let them drain briefly in a colander.

Simmer the sauce

Tip the drained berries into a small saucepan with the Granulated Sugar and Water. Bring everything to a gentle boil over medium heat, then lower the heat and simmer for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries burst and the liquid looks glossy and lightly syrupy.

Cool briefly

Take the pan off the heat and let the sauce rest for 5 minutes so it thickens slightly as it cools.

Serve the sauce

Spoon the sauce into a bowl or jar and serve it warm, or chill it if you want a firmer finish.
