My son suggested that I go for lingonberries for many kilometers. from the city. Last year, he and his wife collected a lot of lingonberries there. I agreed and we hit the road. The road, I must tell you, is so ... It would be more correct to say - off-road. We had to stop when the way further could turn out to be unpleasant, causing the danger of the car getting stuck deep in the mud and for a long time. Therefore, for another 40 minutes we walked along a forest, muddy road. As they say, hunting is worse than bondage. But what if you really want to stock up on lingonberries for the winter.

Lingonberry jam with apples – one of the most aromatic sweet and sour jams. This has already become a classic combination of berries and fruits, loved by many for its unique taste.
This jam can be served with tea, cottage cheese, pancakes, cook fruit drinks and jelly from it in winter, use it as a filling for sweet pies and just spread it on a bun with butter. In any case, you will, as they say, lick your fingers. This is perhaps the most popular jam in the north and northwest of Russia. Even city housewives, who, not only do not go to the forest for berries, but do not even know how and where this same lingonberry grows, often buy berries in the market precisely in order to make jam from them. We offer you a recipe we have tried many times.
Necessary :
It is best to cook the jam in a wide enamel bowl, if you cook a double portion at once, you can take a basin (in our photographs you will see exactly the basin, and then everything fits with difficulty, try to keep at least 3 centimeters to the edge of the basin-basin, otherwise the jam will "run away" when boiling).
Preparation:
The lingonberries must first be washed and sorted out at the same time. To do this, pour the lingonberries into a bowl (preferably in parts, in several steps, dividing a kilogram of berries into 2-3 parts), fill in with cold water, then stir several times with your hands. At the same time, as a rule, leaves, pieces of moss, small twigs float to the surface - all this must be carefully selected and discarded. Some of the berries also float, some (more crumpled, harvested for a long time and already softer) sink to the bottom - this does not mean that all the "drowned" berries should be thrown away. We throw away only blackened, brown, wrinkled or crushed ones. We repeat the procedure 2-3 times. We put the washed and sorted lingonberries into a colander and let the water drain, after which we pour all the berries into a bowl or basin.
Fill the berries with granulated sugar. We usually have no time to wait several hours for the berries to give juice, so we add sugar gradually, slightly kneading the berries with a "crush" for mashed potatoes and mixing them with granulated sugar. Note that our task is not to crush all the berries, we need to moisten all the sugar.
When all the granulated sugar in the bowl has lost its white color, add a glass of water, stir and put on the stove over medium heat / heat, stir periodically so that the sugar does not burn.
While the lingonberries and sugar are heating up, quickly wash and wipe the apples.
We peel the apples from the core (it is convenient to do this by cutting the apple into quarters), and then cut the apples into small pieces, focusing on an approximate volume of 1-1.5 cubic centimeters.
Pour the chopped apples into a bowl (if you "missed" the size of a bowl or basin and understand that everything will not fit, put some of the lingonberries with sugar and apples in another bowl and cook first in two, and at the end of the process, when the volume of apples and lingonberries decrease, you can combine everything in one bowl and mix).
So, mix the apples with lingonberries, and, stirring, bring the mass to a boil. When the jam boils, immediately turn down the heat / heat so that the jam does not "run away".
After the moment of boiling, cook the jam over low heat, so that it boils a little, for another 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally (about every 4-5 minutes), if you are cooking in a bowl, it is more convenient to stir with a large, long-handled wooden spoon. In the process of boiling, a foam forms, which at the end of cooking will need to be carefully removed with a spoon. You do not need to throw away the foam, just put it in a mug or on a saucer and eat it like jam for 1-2 days (the foam cannot be stored for a long time, and if it is not removed, it will interfere with your jam).
We check the readiness of the jam as follows: you need to take a little bit of jam in a spoon and drip from it (just drop - 1 drop!) Onto a clean plate. If the drop does not spread over the plate, but remains in the form of a tiny hemisphere, the jam is ready. Do not forget to remove the foam and turn off the stove.
