Questions & Replies

  1. I can only find preserves and not plain lingonberries. If I use the preserves for my recipe, should I still add the sugar or will it be too sweet since preserves already have sugar?? My recipe is with cinnamon, blue berries, sugar etc simmered with the lingonberries.??
     
  2. Can I start the cooking with frozen lingonberries?

  2. My sauce has a bitter taste, any suggestions? C
     
  3. I served this with Smoked salmon and crackers at a holiday party. Very big hit!
