Rørte Tyttebær | Lingonberry Jam

October 8, 2017 By Therese Leave a Comment

Lingonberries

Lingonberries- a Nordic staple food that is known for its tartyness yet subtle sweetness. A berry that has its own preservative effects which makes it perfect for long term storage- and probably why it has been made in the Nordic region for a long time.

Lingonberries are very sour when eaten straight from the bush, which is why some sort of sweetener is crucial to make it somewhat delicious. I often prefer using honey as a replacement for refined sugar, but you can use what you prefer. The traditional recipe calls for a pretty high amount of refined sugar, but I prefer to reduce the amount a little.

Lingonberry jam pairs perfectly wild game meat and is a must when eating Swedish meatballs.

“Stirred” Lingonberry | Lingonberry Jam

Stirred lingonberries is a traditional way of using these woonderful autumn berries. Instead of heating the berries and boiling them for a certain amount of time- all you need to do is sprinkle sugar on top, let it sit for a while and stir it all together to a mash.

Easy, right?

Rørte Tyttebær | Lingonberry Jam

Ingredients

200 g lingonberries, fresh or frozen

50 – 100 g sugar, depending on your liking

Instructions

  1. in a bowl, combine lingonberries and sugar.
  2. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes so the sugar releases liquid from the berries.
  3. Stir together with a fork, lightly mashing the berries.
  4. Keeps in the fridge for a couple of weeks.

Notes

To spruce it up a little you can add warming spices such as cinnamon, cloves and star anise.

Add different kinds of fruit to change it up a little- like grated apple for more natural sweetness!

Freezes perfectly!

Nordic Cuisine

The best way to understand the Nordic region’s food culture is more than a trip to Ikea- it’s understanding our traditions, our nature and our people.

Nordic cuisine has never been extravagant, nor has it been fancy- it can best be described with the words of my favorite cafe in Oslo; “By serving a simple slice of waffle with strawberry jam and brown cheese with a cup of coffee on the side”. Nordic cuisine is known to be simple and with few ingredients- ingredients from the areas where we live and the lands surrounding us- like the woods, the sea, the mountains and the fjords. A blend between fresh, seasonal and preserved flavors- often put in jars and stored away in a dark pantry somewhere on a farm- only to be enjoyed and devoured throughout the seasons.

Food is one of the most important things we have in life- and we should all have enough knowledge about food to be able to live a long and happy life. It should not be a burden- nor should it be boring. Food should be something that makes you thrive to be able to live the life you want, it should bring people together in the most wonderful way and last but not least- it should be fun.
