Oh and P.S. we ALWAYS double or triple this recipe.

Thanks for the recipe V, It sounds great and will surely give it a try maybe this weekend between smokes. You must of read the post about my gradmas rice pudding that the recipe was incomplete. She was german and my grandad was swedish, he grew up in Minn. She called him Olie. LOL. Now as far as those berries, I will have to look for those, I don't recall seein them in the produce section while lookin at all the other different things they carry now.
Thanks again...Lee

No no no.
Lingonberries are in a jar.
The brand I specified is about $8 for a 12 oz jar. Somethin like that.
They come from the arctic circle.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

And yeah, I did read that post. I think it was Travs Molasses Pie.

This recipe is always a hit. BIG TIME.

The lingonberries are hard to find.

In Minnesota it's only the Swedish Institute, HIGH end Grocery stores and sometimes it's just seasonal around Christmas. They can be very tough to find but WELL worth the effort.

V, this does sound good...Thanks for sharing your recipe!!:cool::thumb:

My Czech Great Grandma had to teach my Swede Grandma how to cook but my Swede Grandma got this from her family.

Man, that woman could cook.

I hope we can eat in heaven.

Ok, thanks for the tip on that. I will keep an eye out for them. but in the mean time I think I'll just have to try it without just for old time sake. My grandma used alot of currents in her desserts, so may just substitute those till I can locate the berries. Thanks again.

You know, a lingonberry is rather like a currant.
Interesting call on your part.

Let me know if you do the currants and your thoughts.

What I'm referring to is rather like a jam with berry chunks in it and lingonberries are the size of currants.

That sounds pretty good V, I haven had "good" rice pudding in years

thanks a million vman, got my shopping list ready and i cant wait to try this one... :banana_smiley:

It's good and it's easy.
You can also use nutmeg instead of cinnamon to sprinkle on the finished product. (before lingonberries if you use em)

The recipe sounds good. I did a little looking around and found a couple places that you can buy the berries online.
