- Lingonberries grow plentifully in our forests. In pine forests they're bigger and sweeter. Lingonberries feature in lots of recipes, since they're a traditional Russian food. People make jam, fruit drinks, kissel, and "lingonberry water" (juice) from them. Soaked lingonberries are especially tasty. They're not only wholesome — like the fresh berries, they can also be used for their healthful properties. This method of putting up lingonberries was used by our ancestors long ago, back when no one had any notion of canning in sealed jars. And since this preserve contains no preservatives and isn't kept in an airtight container, it's all the more healthful. First, pick over and rinse the lingonberries. Then dry them with a paper towel, or simply spread them out on a cotton or linen cloth and let them air-dry. For the syrup, add the sugar, cloves, and cinnamon to water boiling on the stove. Let the finished syrup cool. Pack the lingonberries into a jar, pour the syrup over them, and set a weight on top to press them down. Let them sit this way in a cold place for about a week. Serve the soaked lingonberries with meat, poultry, or game. Enjoy!
