40 minutes
Scandinavian lingonberry sauce is a refined addition to meat and fish dishes as well as cheeses. Its roots trace back to the traditions of northern countries where lingonberries symbolize forest wealth and have been used in cuisine for centuries. The sweet-sour taste of the sauce is created by combining berries with red wine, honey, and cinnamon, giving it a deep aroma and richness. This sauce not only enhances the flavor of dishes but also adds elegance to them. It can be served warm or cold, revealing new flavor nuances. It pairs perfectly with game, roasted pork, and soft cheeses, making every meal special.
