Sylt Lingon, Lingonberry preserves, Ikea Food, 14.1 oz jar - Super fruit

Swedish meatballs are delicious. The lingonberry preserves are a bit like cranberry sauce for turkey. Lingonberry preserves are sweeter than cranberry sauce but they still have a sharp, sour flavor. I have only used them with meatballs.

Used it for filling and topping of a wedding cake. It was so delicious that there wasn't any left.

I lived near an IKEA and ate lunch there. The lingonberries were served with the Swedish meatballs. I use it with chicken and meat. It has so much flavor. So glad I found IKEAs berries.

I made the IKEA Swedish meatballs for Sunday dinner and this lingonberry sauce made by IKEA went perfectly with the meal. It was very tasty, similar to a sweet cranberry.

I recently discovered this on a listing of super foods by Dr. Oz... supposed to be higher in antioxidants than blueberries. I'm now hooked on adding a teaspoon of this to my morning oatmeal - along with a teaspoon of chia seeds (another super food). I'm sure it would also be great slathered on a homemade biscuit. Anyway - about to finish off jar one, so back for a replacement.About Lingonberries, from [...]The lingonberry can lower inflammatory molecules, block oxidants from destroying tissue, and also help the body replace important antioxidants, like glutathione, which is a master antioxidant in our body. Lingonberry has also been shown to increase red blood cell and liver enzymes needed for antioxidant protection. We need antioxidants to protect vessels and nerve tissue, and also to help decrease the damage from inflammation. Proanthocyanidin extracts from lingonberries were also found to be effective against the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, which can cause a wide variety of infections.Native Americans in North America have a history of using this berry to help those suffering with diabetes and cardiovascular illness. Modern research is starting to catch up with what the Native Americans already knew. A 2010 Canadian study with First Nation Cree subjects found that the lingonberry was able to reduce the effect of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). AGEs are the byproduct of sugars and heated protein molecules in the body that accumulate in patients with high blood sugar. These AGEs contribute to the damage in a diabetic’s vessels. This damage is a major contributor to kidney disease, eye disease and circulation problems that can lead to skin sores and amputation.

It’s very natural, old fashioned, like home made jelly.

I bought this jelly because Swedish people eat it with their Swedish meatballs, so I wanted to try it. Surprisingly it tastes good, like cranberry sauce . They eat it like PB&J, I'll have to try that. It's a good size jar, that will last. It looks like cranberry sauce with smaller berries. If you like cranberry sauce, you would like this jelly.

The jar was not sealed correctly, no returns so trashed
