How to cook lingonberries with sugar without cooking.
We separate the berries from the twigs, pine needles, and leaves.
Rinse with plenty of water and let the water drain. Dry on napkins or fabric that absorbs water well.
Grind in a meat grinder with a fine strainer.
Add sugar
and stir until we see that the sugar is completely dissolved.
Usually, I take as much sugar as there is lingonberry puree. But its quantity can be changed. Who likes it: more sweet, or more sour.
While we are trying to dissolve the sugar, I am preparing the jars and lids.
Then, put the sweet mass into jars and close with tight, sterile lids.
Place the lingonberry preparations in the refrigerator for preservation. If there is not enough space there, then simply sterilize the jars for 7 minutes and roll them up.This way they can be preserved, even at room temperature. Another way to preserve the product is to freeze lingonberries, ground with sugar, in small plastic boxes. In this case, the kids eat it like berry ice cream.
I add lingonberries prepared according to this recipe to fruit drinks, tea, and serve with pancakes and pancakes.
