Unlike many other berries, lingonberries thrive in cold temperatures. These plants spread an average of 9 to 12 inches during the first few years after planting. They’re a low-growing perennial plant that grows on a woody shrub that grows 12-16 inches high, and spreads through underground runners or seeds. These berries are much sweeter and have virtually no astringency. These berries are closely related to cranberries and blueberries, producing large amounts of small red berries with a flavor similar to cranberries. Lingonberries are often called cowberries, lowbush cranberries, or whortleberries. Lingonberries, on the other hand, are really easy to grow! What are Lingonberries? I’m still looking for a source for crowberries and cloudberries, which have somewhat specific requirements and can’t really be cultivated. Not to be deterred, we’ve started growing and raising ingredients for Nordic recipes on our own. This year I’ll be curing lamb ribs for Pinnekjøtt, so that shows you I’m not afraid of a challenge. With her at the helm, I never really had to focus on Scandinavian delicacies because she kept us well supplied.Ī few years ago when she past, I started cooking more traditional Scandinavian food and found it really difficult to source specialty ingredients. My Norwegian grandmother was always the best baker in the family, and every year she’d decorate our holiday table with literally dozens of varieties of Norwegian Christmas Cookies.
While they’re somewhat similar to cranberries, they taste much sweeter and are perfect for fresh eating right in the garden. Lingonberries plants are easy to grow, hardy perennial fruiting shrubs that taste great fresh or in preserves.
