Lingonsaft - Scandinavian Lingonberry Juice image

From Kari Diehl of about.com for the ZWT6. You can use fresh or frozen berries - 1 lb is equal to three cups. I would also like to try this with cranberries.

Time 30m

Yield 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 lb lingonberry
5 cups water
1 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Wash or defrost berries. Place berries in saucepan with water. Bring to a low boil over medium-high heat; simmer until berries begin to pop (about 15 minutes).
  • Remove saucepan from burner and drain berries in a cheese cloth-lined sieve or juice bag over a large, glass bowl. Crush the cooked berries with a potato masher to release the additional juice.
  • If using juice as a beverage, sweeten to taste with up to 1 cup sugar; return to saucepan and heat for 2-3 minutes until sugar is dissolved. Remove from burner, cool, and refrigerate (Note: juice can also be canned or frozen for future use).
