LIGHT & EASY SUMMER ENTERTAINING WITH FELIX LINGONBERRY JAM

Felix Lingonberry Jam adds delicious tart-sweet flavor to all your sweet or savory meals and recipes.

It’s berry season, and lingonberries have been called the “better berry” – they were featured on the Dr. Oz Show as a super fruit, loaded with antioxidants.
The easy way to enjoy them is in delicious Felix Lingonberry Jam, the favorite lingonberry jam in Sweden and the USA.
They’re a great alternative to cranberries — you can serve Felix Jam with ham or turkey, with an appetizer like hard or goat cheese and crackers, or as a delicious topping on waffles and pancakes. It even tastes great on a turkey sandwich!
Felix Lingonberry Jam is made from pure, simple ingredients: fresh, wild lingonberries, pure sugar and water, in a time-tested recipe

1 tablespoon fresh thyme
3/4 teaspoon honey
Salt and pepper to taste
Felix Lingonberry jam

 Lingonberry Shortbread Cookies

½ Cup Butter
¼ Cup Sugar
1½ Cup of flour
2 Tablespoons of Felix Lingonberry Jam
¼ teaspoon of rosemary, chopped
Pinch of salt

Directions:
Put softened butter and sugar in mixer and beat till creamy. Add Lingonberry Jam and continue to mix until smooth.
In a separate bowl mix the flour, salt and rosemary and gently whisk. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Dough should be a little dry but still form a ball. Gather dough into a ball and place in plastic wrap. Flatten into a disc and chill for 20 mins.
Roll chilled dough out on a lightly floured surface. Stamp out cookies using a 3 inch circle cutter or any other desired shape cutter. Next, using a smaller cookie cutter, cut a second shape from the center of half of the cookies. Transfer all the cookies to separate parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing each 2 inches apart.
Bake cookies at 350° for 10 minutes or until edges are slightly browned. Allow to cool on wire rack. Once cooled, spread Lingonberry Jam onto the whole cookies. Top with the cut-out cookie and press gently to adhere so jam shows through. Sprinkle with confectionary sugar.
