Darina Allen experiments with the lingonberry, a weight-loss superfood

LINGONBERRIES grow in the Scandinavian countries, right? Well guess what they also grow very happily here in Ireland in the Bog of Allen in Co Offaly side by side with blueberries. 

I got some precious punnets of them recently and made a tart lingonberry sauce and some preserves and desserts.

So this has been a terrifically exciting week experimenting with a new ingredient or at least new to me in its fresh form.
