CREPES WITH LINGONBERRY JAM

Steps:

• For the filling:
• In a small bowl, mix together jam and cream cheese until well incorporated. Set aside.;
• For the whipped cream:
• Using a hand mixer, blend ingredients together until soft peaks form. Refrigerate until serving.
• Spray a nonstick crepe pan with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Add 2-ounces crepe batter and rotate pan until batter adheres to the sides. Allow to cook for 1 minute. Once slight bubbles start to form on the crepe, flip with a rubber spatula. Remove from the pan, place on a platter and repeat with remaining batter. Set aside.
• Place approximately 3 tablespoons jam mixture in center of a crepe and roll tightly. Repeat until all the crepes are filled and rolled. Serve on a large platter or individual plates with whipped cream alongside, if desired

LINGONBERRY BUTTER

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer until creamy and pale yellow.
• Add lingonberries and beat until thoroughly combined and light pink in color.
• The finished product should have no visible liquid and be light and airy. If your butter is juicy, dark pink, or clumpy- keep beating!
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Has an excellent shelf life.

LINGONBERRY JAM

• Place lingonberries in a large pot with the water and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 to 10 minutes, and skim off any foam from the surface. Stir in sugar, bring to a rapid boil, and continue boiling for a few more minutes.
• Ladle jam into sterile jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace. Cover with lids, and screw on rings. Process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes to seal. Refrigerate jam once the jar has been opened.

SWEDISH PANCAKES WITH LINGONBERRY BUTTER

Steps:

• MAKE BATTER Combine flour, sugar, and salt in large bowl. Slowly whisk half-and-half, club soda, 4 tablespoons butter, eggs, and yolks into flour mixture until smooth.
• COOK PANCAKES Brush surface and sides of 10-inch nonstick skillet with 1 teaspoon butter and heat over medium heat. When butter stops sizzling, pour 1/3 cup batter into skillet, tilting pan to evenly coat bottom with batter. Cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to plate and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Repeat with remaining butter and remaining batter. Serve.
• NOTE: I combined 3 tablespoons lingonberry jam with 1 stick soften butter and served in on top of the hot pancakes, that I rolled into crepes.
• MAKE AHEAD: Swedish pancakes can be refrigerated for 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month. Layer cooled pancakes between parchment paper, wrap in plastic, and transfer to zipper-lock bag. To serve, microwave stack of 3 pancakes on 50 percent power until heated through, 10 to 20 seconds.

LOGANBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Inspect seven 8-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
• Crush berries in a bowl. Place 1/2 of the crushed berries into a sieve or cheesecloth to remove some seeds if desired. Transfer all berries to a large pot.
• Stir in sugar and add butter to reduce foaming if desired. Bring mixture to a full rolling boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in pectin quickly. Return to a full boil and boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and skim off any foam with metal spoon.
• Ladle jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/8 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and use a holder to lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 5 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
