Ingredients:
- 8oz frozen lingonberries
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
Place the lingonberries and the water into a small saucepan. Bring the water to a boil, stirring as it heats. Add the sugar, stirring until it dissolves.
Reduce the heat until it reaches a quiet simmer. Stir it as it simmers until about half the water boils off – about 25 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the stove and cool it quickly; placing the saucepan in a larger bowl of icewater works well.
Allergens
None of the common allergens. This syrup is just lingonberries, water, and sugar — naturally free of gluten, dairy, egg, soy, nuts, shellfish, and fish. It is vegan. (Note that anything you serve it over, such as ice cream, may add its own allergens.)
