Frequently asked questions

Why are apples added to the lingonberry jam?
The apples temper the sharp acidity of the lingonberries and give the jam more body and a firmer, jelly-like consistency, since apples are rich in pectin.
Why are the berries and sugar layered?
Layering and gentle heating make the sugar melt evenly and draw juice out of the berries before boiling, so the berries hold their shape better.
