Lingonberry Jam Recipes

Fried Baltic Herring In Butter Served With Lingon Jam And Mashed Potatoes With Dill (called 'Stekt Stromming' - a classic Gothenburg dish) Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

  • 1 kg (2- 1/4lb) Baltic herring filet
  • coarse rye flour
  • salt, white pepper
  • butter
  • Tillmans' lingonberry jam

    Marinade:
  • 350 g (12 oz) sugar
  • 300ml (1 -1/2 cup) distilled white vinegar (12% alcohol)
  • 600ml (3 cups) water
  • 2 tbs whole allspice
  • 2 - 4 bay leaves
  • 2 red onions

    Method
    Place the Baltic herring filets skin side down on a cutting board or similar surface. Salt them and give them a few turns from the white pepper mill, then put together the filets in pairs. Roll the filets in coarse rye flour and fry them in butter until golden brown on both sides. Eat them right away with potatoes and the lingonberry jam, or make a marinated version as follows.

    Marinated fried Baltic herring:

    Mix all the marinade ingredients and boil for a few minutes in a pot. Place the finished fried Baltic herring filets, while still warm, on top of each other in a deep bowl or dish. Pour the warm marinade over them. Let stand until cool. Peel the red onion, divide it in two, slice it thin and sprinkle on top.

    Swedish Meatballs Serves 4-6

    Ingredients:
  • 500g (18 oz) ground (minced) beef/pork mixture
  • 250ml (1 - 1/4 cup) milk
  • 75g ( 3/4 cup) white breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 onion
  • salt, white pepper
  • ground allspice

    Method
    Finely dice the onion and saute gently in a little butter without browning. Soak the breadcrumbs in milk. Blend the ground meat, preferably in a food processor, with the onion, egg, milk/breadcrumb mixture and the spices to the proper consistency and taste. Add a little water if the mixture feels too firm. Check the taste by test-frying one meatball.

    Then shape small meatballs with the aid of two spoons and place on water-rinsed plates. Brown a generous pat of butter in a frying pan, and when it goes quiet place the meatballs in the pan and let them brown on all sides. Shake the frying pan often. Serve with potato puree or boiled potatoes and Lingonberry Jam.

    Ragmunk (Swedish Potato Pancake) Serves 4-6

    Ingredients:
  • 1 egg
  • 90g wheat flour
  • 300ml milk
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 800g potatoes
  • 50g (2 oz) butter
  • 400 - 500g salt pork raw
  • stirred lingonberries

    Method
    Make a pancake batter using the egg, flour and milk. Add salt. Peel the potatoes and grate them. Mix in, then fry small patties of the potato pancake batter in butter until golden brown on both sides. Fry the pork until crunchy. Serve with lingonberry jam.

    The more crispy and buttery the pancake is around the edges, the better it tastes. The trick is not to spread the batter too thickly. Try mixing a little diced onion into the recipe for added flavour.

    Kroppkakor (Literally: Body Cakes) Serves 4-6

    Ingredients:
  • 10 medium sized potatoes
  • 2 - 3 egg yolks
  • 150 - 190g (5 - 6-1/2 oz) wheat flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 onion
  • 200g (7 oz) salt pork
  • 2 tsp cracked allspice
  • stirred lingonberries

    Method
    Peel and boil the potatoes. Mash them and mix with the egg yolks and salt. Let the puree cool, then mix in the flour.

    Knead the dough thoroughly and shape into a roll. Chop the pork into small cubes and dice the onion. Fry the pork quickly with the onion and mix with the allspice. Cut the potato roll into inch-thick slices, make a depression in the center of each slice and fill it with the pork mixture. Flatten each dumpling so the pork mixture is in the middle and roll into a smooth, even ball.

    Boil the dumplings slowly in a pot of lightly salted water without a lid for 5-6 minutes after the dumplings rise to the surface. Serve with lingonberry jam and melted butter. The dumplings can also be cut in half and fried in butter. Can also have a mushroom filling.

    Scandinavian Cloudberry Layer Cake

    Ingredients
  • 1 cups eggs (about 5 large), at room temperature
  • 1 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, stirred before measuring
  • 1 1/2 cups Tillmans cloudberry jam
  • 1-1/2 cups whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

    Method

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper. Crack eggs and measure them in a 2-cup measuring cup. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the eggs until frothy. Slowly beat in the sugar and continue beating at high speed for 5 minutes until light and lemon-colored, beat in the vanilla and salt.

    With a rubber spatula, fold in the flour thoroughly. Divide the batter evenly between the two pans. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the cake springs back when touched in the center. Cool cakes on a rack in the pan. Loosen the edges and remove from pans. Split cooled layers to make 4 cake layers in all.

    To assemble the cake, split cooled layers in half horizontally to make 4 layers in all. Place bottom layer on cake plate and spread with whipped cream. Top with the second layer. Spread with 3/4 of the fruit or preserves. Top with the 3rd layer and spread with more whipped cream, then top with the 4th layer and spread with the remaining fruit or preserves.

    Frost the sides of the cake with about half of the whipped cream. Put the remaining cream into a pastry bag with a star tip (if desired), and press onto the cake decoratively on the top, and around the edges.

    Refrigerate until ready to serve. Makes 16 servings.

    Cloudberry Parfait Cake - Hjortron Parfait Tårta: Serves 6 - 8

    Layer:
  • 150 g (5 oz) almonds
  • 5 egg whites
  • 200 g (7 oz) powdered sugar

    Cloudberry parfait:
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 dl (1/2 cup) sugar
  • 1 dl (1/2 cup) water
  • 3 gelatin sheets (equal to 1 1/2 tsp powdered,unflavored gelatin)
  • 4 dl (2 cups) whipping cream
  • 2 1/2 dl (1 1/4 cup) cloudberry jam

    Decoration:
    Toasted, flaked almonds, Strawberries

    Method
    Heat the oven to 175C/350F. Scald, peel, and grind the almonds. Put the gelatin sheets in cold water for about 10 minutes, or proceed like you normally do with powdered gelatin (I've never used it). Beat the egg whites and powdered sugar to a stiff foam. Stir in the ground almonds and pour the mixture in a greased and breadcrumbed spring form with loose edges. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 15 minutes.

    Mix egg yolks, sugar, and water in a saucepan. Let simmer on low heat while beating vigorously until the mixture thickens. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow to cool, stirring occasionally.

    Squeeze out the water from the gelatine sheets and melt them on low heat with a few drops of water (if necessary). Then beat it into the creme in a fine stream. Beat the cream and mix with the egg yolk batter, and last stir in the cloudberry jam.

    Spread the cloudberry parfait over the almond layer while still in the dish. Put in the freezer for at least 2 - 3 hours. Take out the cake 20 - 30 minutes before serving and decorate with lightly toasted, flaked almonds and strawberries.
