Strange, eh!
I had some lingonberries for lunch along with Swedish pork meatballs.
I’m Swedish and have worked as a cook in Sweden.
Although I’m proud of our culinary traditions, I’d never claim we could compete with a nation like Italy in this domain.
But, to any person out there who wishes to get the full use out of a can of lingonberry, this might be interesting enough:

With the right breed of potatoes (preferably a “soft”, yet tasty one) and a little of onion and pork mixed together with a traditional Swedish blend of flavors like allspice, clove and white pepper you could bring about marvels.
Lycka till/Good luck!
