Lingonberry, berry evergreen shrub up to 30 cm high with erect or ascending stems and rounded pubescent twigs. Leaves are ellipsoid, dense, leathery, shiny; bell-shaped flowers, white-pink, with a faint smell, in dense drooping inflorescences-brushes; fruits - bright red, juicy, sweet and sour berries with a slight bitter taste.

Distributed in the Northern Hemisphere. It grows in coniferous and mixed forests, tundra, dry peat bogs, clearings, mossy swamps.

Berries (ripen in August - September) are a valuable food product, contain up to 8.6% sugars (mainly fructose), up to 2% organic acids (malic, benzoic, oxalic, citric), 15 mg% vitamin C, carotene, 425 mg%, flavonoids, as well as tannins that cause astringent taste.

They are eaten fresh, they are used for making jams, jelly, marinade, fruit water, pastille, urinating (berries should be ripe, clean, without litter and stalks). Lingonberry jam is served with tea, as well as meat dishes (mainly for game) and is used as a filling for pies. Soaked lingonberry is a good side dish for meat and fish dishes; it can be added to vinaigrette and salads, sauces; a few hours before use, sugar should be put into it to taste. The presence of benzoic acid in lingonberries allows you to keep them fresh for a long time (in cold water).

Tatiana, thank you!
I was just about to look for a recipe for soaked lingonberries!
And here he is!
When I was visiting Karelia, I was treated to soaked lingonberries.
Such yummy!
It is impossible to break away.
Karelians wet lingonberries in barrels. Their barrels are lime, 200 liters, probably almost a meter in diameter.

Lena, to your health!
Oh, don't tell my friend, she herself scooped a spoon straight from the can, still could not quench my thirst I decided to stop, I'm afraid until the new year nothing of 3 cans will remain

Get ready, you won't regret it

[Admin]

Admin, Tanya, I read the recipe 3 times, I thought I was wrong. Is pepper added to the solution? What is this? Burning black, red ?? As in the marinade when canning?

[Sveta]

Sveta, multi-colored peppercorns. And only for the marinade! Then I filter the solution, pepper does not go to lingonberries.

And if you add a little cinnamon and cloves to the marinade, then the taste is cherry.In those days, when we harvested lingonberries in large quantities, we were sure to fill several cans with cinnamon-clove marinade.

You can do that

Bli-in !!! Well, where was this recipe three weeks ago, when I was picking lingonberries? !!!!!! I already froze her all over. I once made soaked lingonberries, as I was told, just sugar to taste in a jar and that's it - I didn't like it, because lingonberries are sour and moldy. And here everything is in mind, so I want to try. Frozen won't work?

[Natasha]

Natasha, it seems to me that frozen will go, this is a strong berry
You can even not defrost it until the end, and pour it with cold marinade

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, and store in the refrigerator? I can’t resist: I’ll get a little freeze and experiment (if only it doesn’t turn into porridge after defrosting), but I’ll finish with sun-dried tomatoes and plums - MUSH today brought in a few kilograms of prunes, wanting dried plums after reading the recipe: boom to perform.

craving sun-dried plums

An excellent husband however
Store in the cold - refrigerator, cellar. Yes, she also won't live long, her hands itch constantly to climb into the jar with a spoon

I'll do it and unsubscribe for sure. It's really interesting how lingonberries will show themselves with salt and spices. If everything works out, as I already dreamed, then next year I will not run for mushrooms, but look for cranberries!

[Natasha]

Natasha, the berry is not salted, there is very little salt for this. But - delicious!

Lingonberries urinate when you can buy. I also added cloves, cinnamon, a little salt. Instead of sugar, saccharin was added when it was. Now I'll put it down. And instead of water, I already wrote somewhere, poured raspberry sprigs with broth, so they taught. The broth turns out to be a beautiful pink color, fragrant, tasty. And this year I tried soaked lingonberry pies, cheesecake pies, sooo delicious!

You need to think about pies

There is not much sugar in this recipe for 1.5 kg of lingonberries, and it is quenched with lingonberry acid.
I try not to use sweeteners anywhere. For me, it's better to reduce the portion of natural sugar, or where you can just give it up altogether

Good lingonberry. I myself never urinate berries, this is what our mother-in-law does (she just loves to pick berries), and before that my husband's grandmother. We store not only in the cold, but in the apartment the same is normal. True, she cooks a lot, gaining 10 liters at a time.
