Instructions
Step 1
For the simplest version of lingonberry sauce, rinse the berries. If using frozen lingonberries, thaw them. Pour boiling water over the berries and cook for fifteen minutes over medium heat.
Step 2
Mash the berries or rub through a sieve, add sugar and cook for five minutes over low heat, stirring constantly. This sauce will suit both meat dishes and sweet desserts.
Step 3
To make the lingonberry cinnamon sauce, wash the berries and select the leaves. Pour the prepared lingonberry with water and bring to a boil. Discard the berry in a colander. Pour the water in which the lingonberries were boiled into a bowl and chill.
Step 4
Depending on the consistency of the sauce you need, chop the lingonberries in a blender or crush with a spoon. Perhaps the dish for which you are going to serve lingonberry sauce will look more impressive with a sauce in which the berries are visible.
Step 5
Divide the water in which the lingonberries were boiled in half. Add starch to one part of water and stir it. Add the remaining water, sugar, wine, and a drop of cinnamon to the chopped lingonberries. Put the mixture on fire, bring to a boil and simmer for five minutes. Add diluted starch to the sauce, bring the liquid to a boil again and immediately remove from heat.
Step 6
For a spicy lingonberry sauce for meat, pour the vinegar into a bowl and let it sit for ten minutes. Add washed lingonberries, crushed garlic, seasonings, and salt to taste to the vinegar. You can put sugar in this sauce, or you can not put it - it depends on your preferences. Put the berry over low heat and, stirring occasionally, bring to a boil.
Step 7
After five minutes, remove the sauce from the heat, refrigerate and blend in a blender. Transfer the mixture to a wide-mouth bottle and refrigerate. It is best to prepare this sauce in advance as it tastes much better if it is steeped for several days.
