Yes! This might be the most important berry for us Swedes! It is mostly used with savoury dishes, either as a jam or mascerated. I prefer it mascerated (just add sugar to them, stir lightly and wait for a while. Don't mash them). ALWAYS served with meatballs and "wallenbergare"! For me it is also obligatory for "blodpudding" (blood pudding) and "raggmunk" (a sort of potato pancake), both usually served with fried bacon or just salted pork. I usually don't eat it with sweet dishes though, but I know many people like it with pancakes. I prefer strawberry jam with pancakes 🙂.

In Finland, too, it is mainly used with savoury dishes. However, there's a sweet cake I sometimes make: basic sponge cake batter - enough to cover an oven tray and maybe slightly shy of 1 inch thick , smear relatively low-sugar lingonberry jam or mascerated lingonberries all over it. Melt about 25g-50g butter, mix in about 1 dl-1.5dl rolled oats, and sugar (and a little bit of vanilla), and distribute on top. Bake until the sponge cake's done.

@@Grandmaster-Kush It's great in kvarg (kesella or whatever), and that way it's used in desserts in all of Finland too. Also, pretty good substitute for cranberries in that russian dessert where you dice an apple, throw in a bunch of cranberries or lingonberries (preferrably frozen), and then pour a hot caramel sauce on top.

One of my favourite things to do with lingonberries, is "lingonberry pears". You make a watery jam, and in it you then boil peeled, small, firm pears until cooked. The tartness of the berries seeps into the sweet pears and it's sooo good. They only get better if you let them steep for a couple if days. 🤤 If you add some cloves and cinnamon to boil with the pears, it makes for a fresh winter dessert. Goes well with whipped cream, too. 😊

Hello time traveler

In Norway we have the jam with any meat, potatoes and gravy dishes. In the part of Norway my mom is from they make trollkrem (troll cream - not actual cream in the recipe though): 0,5 kg lingonberries 200 g sugar 2 egg whites vanilla extract (optional) You whip this (preferably using some sort of kitchen gadget, as hand whipping will be very heavy for your arm) until it is really fluffy and pink. We often serve this with waffles. It is like eating a pink cloud. I think my grandmother would also make it with jam.

One of the few fruits you've reviewed that I've actually had! (Well - lingonberry jam and juice, but close enough)

My Ukraine girlfriend introduced me to this fruit (I’m American and never had them before this). She gave me a lingonberry ice cream and instantly loved how it tasted and had to learn more about the fruit and that’s how I came across your video!

I've been waiting for this one! I thinks it's interesting that in Sweden we just call them lingon, but that the english translation adds the -berry on the end for clarification.

Great on pancakes and pork loin! Very addictive...😍🤩😍

A tip for a drink where you use lingonberry that people drink in northern Sweden and Finland. Vargtass (wolf's paw): Mix vodka (4-6 cl), lingonberry juice and ice (For best result, use a shaker) in a Collins glass and put some fresh lingonberry in it if you wanna be fanzy and voila!

Thank you! I've been waiting for this one. There's a Chicago Swedish restaurant chain called Ann Sather that has jars of Felix brand lingonberries at the cash register. I've gone through four jars in the last six months! Lingonberries are especially good with chocolate anything, the darker the better.

It was very aesthetically pleasing with that vine background and fancy goblet full with lingon!!

This was the most indepth video about their flavor. I'm used to people just trying something and giving an opinion, but you tried them in many ways, as well as comparing to off the shelf kind. Quality channel!

Finally a fruit I've actually tried. They are among my favorites, even though I've only had them a couple of times.

I often bring bags for lingonberry and blueberries when foraging for mushrooms. I’m not very good at finding the mushrooms so the lovely berries are a nice consolation prize 😅

We do use lingon for cakes aswell. I love pumpkin spiced sponge (mjuk pepparkaka) with lingon or lingon jam stirred into the batter. I also like adding them to a frozen cheesecake with gingerbread bottom and in fudge.

OHH I been waiting for this one!

I eat lingonberry-jam on my pancakes, it is less sweet than other jam and gives it a little tartness. It is also used together with wild animals meat like deer. I also know cooked pears sliced in half an filled with the jam as a side-dish to meat. Some eat this jam with fried cream-cheese like baked Camembert. I remember as a child my mother made a special gateau out of it: chocolate flan case, whipped cream mixed with the lingonberry-jam above it and then chocolate sprinkles on top.

Love how you scooped up an inchworm also when raking the bilberry bush with your hand and let it go without saying a word

What you did there is called "rårörda lingon" (raw-stirred lingonberries in Swedish). It dates back hundreds, if not thousands of years. It is very common in the cuisines around scandinavia and the baltics and it is usually eaten together with meat, gravy and potatoes to compliment the heavy, fatty and savory foods which comes with the cooking style in these parts of the world. :P

The kompot you made is pretty much exactly how traditional lingonberry jam is made. Lingonberry contains so much natural fruit pectin that there's absolutely no need to use anything else than berries, sugar, water. The ratio is something like 200g water, 500g sugar per 1000g berries. A properly prepared jar it keeps for just about forever and it's loaded with vitamins and anti-oxidants. In the Scandinavian and Baltic countries it's eaten with just about everything.

I mainly eat lingonberries in lingonberry porridge, where it's the main ingredient (unless you count water). Of course if you eat sauteed reindeer, you must have lingonberries, but I don't eat that luxury dish so often. Nevertheless, every September, you gotta go pick lingonberries for the winter. One good thing about the late ripening is that there are no mosquitos around anymore. When you pick bilberries, there are two mosquitos for every berry you find. When you pick cloudberries, every berry is guarded by a hundred bloodsuckers.

This is my absolute favourite berry by far! You can eat it with anything, uncooked, cooked, baked, with meat, with pancakes, in cookies, in muffins, just straight from a bush in the forest, with yoghurt etc.etc. I just love them! Some might find them too sour uncooked, but for me, not at all. I love that taste! (I'm Swedish.)

People here in Norway sometimes eat turkey for Christmas, and lingonberry jam is absolutely a common addition to that. It's also a very common side for any sort of wild game or roasts, etc. Basically any meat and potato dish, lingonberry jam is a good fit.

Once I had lingonberry jam and it was genuinely my favourite thing in the world for the longest time

For anybody that wants to, you can make excellent desserts with lingonberry. Crush them with suger and fold into whipped cream or you can mix 2 cups berries, 1 cup suger, 2 eggwhites and some vanilla sugar. The las one is called Trollkrem and is used for special occasion a lot in Norway.

These are my favourite berries. They also grow in the Austrian mountains, and lingonberry jam is very typical here, exactly as you said, to serve them with meat dishes, like for example Wienerschnitzel or deer meat.

sooo many berries! go scandinavia.

LOOOOOVE lingonberry, I think they are very flavorful

I remember getting these in a snack box (yes I'm one of those people box subscriptions are aimed at)! They were dried, but I actually quite liked them. I'm not really a berry person (well I'm picky in general but I digress), so I really only like strawberries. But I remember really liking these quite a lot and haven't really found them since

This species is common throughout Canada and the northeastern US too. I see it all the time in Maine, especially in coastal and sub-alpine areas. It's also called mountain cranberry. I've read that they are best eaten following the first frost, but personally I don't mind the sour and prefer them crispier.

Lingonberrys make the best vodka cranberry.

To this day I've only ever eaten them around Christmas in combination (or out of Christmas season) with boar, stag or deer.

I'm a Finn and we do usually use the mashed up lingonberries sugared quite the same as Americans use cranberry sauce so alongside a meat dish with boiled or mashed potatoes is a pretty normal dinner here. Often it's also put into a berrysoup with other berries and served with regular porridge or whisked together with semolina to make a fluffy vispipuuro-porridge served with sugar and milk. Common uses is also to eat it with yogurt or quark or added in smoothies or baked goods like sweet pies, cakes or buns.

Yep, that's how you use lingonberry. Not fresh, but as a jam. It is eaten a lot in Sweden and goes with almost anything there, but especially well with game meat. In Germany breaded Camembert is very popular and lingonberry jam is obligatory with that as well. If you want a really yummy treat for your sandwich, cook a jam from 1 part lingonberry and one part blueberry. You don't need any gelling agent, as the berries have enough themselves. Just 50% berries and 50% fruit sugar, no water. One of the best things you can put into your mouth!

My family vacations up in Door County, Wisconsin (the thumb like peninsula on the east side). Al Johnson’s is a restaurant in Sister Bay, a small town on the (Green) Bay side of the peninsula. They are famous for their Swedish pancakes (square, flat and chewy in a pleasant way), lingonberry jam and the grass roof with goats on top. It’s VERY Scandinavian and looks like a wood log chalet. A fairly large Scandinavian store is attached. All the wait staff wear traditional Scandinavian outfits. My family would revolt if I didn’t take them there twice each trip. Lingonberry jam is very good on Swedish pancakes. They do also sell turkey, stuffing, etc. so you could make yourself a little Thanksgiving meal. Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota have large Scandinavian populations, so it’s very popular. (The goats on the roof don’t hurt - kids love it). Coincidentally, I was at IKEA this weekend and had some lingonberry jam with their Swedish meatballs.

I often substitute cranberries/cranberry sauce in place of lingonberries. Most everything I need for Norwegian recipes are easily found in the US, except lingonberries (unless I want to drive an hour to Ikea).
