Felix

The Felix Brand

Based in Sweden, Felix is the top lingonberry jam brand in the United States. Founded in 1939, Felix has made a wide variety of beloved products throughout their history, ranging from ice creams to ketchup to meatballs. Internationally, their lingonberry jam is one of their most recognizable products. Its mix of sweetness and tartness makes it a versatile ingredient that's used in both traditional Scandinavian dishes and modern recipes influenced by cultures across the globe.

A Scandinavian Tradition

A key part of Swedish cuisine, wild lingonberries have been enjoyed by the people of Sweden and other Northern European countries for centuries. In modern times, the condiment's popularity has spread throughout Europe as well as other parts of the world such as the United States and Canada.

What makes lingonberry jam unique?

Lingonberry jam is defined by its delicate balance of sweet and tart flavors. The addition of sugar—or an alternative sweetener—transforms naturally sour wild lingonberries into a delightful spread. Felix's lingonberry jam stays close to traditional recipes. It's made with lingonberries, sugar, water, and a bit of fruit pectin as a thickener. This simple combination of ingredients brings out the natural flavor of the berry, while also making its sourness less intense.

How To Enjoy Lingonberry Jam

Similar to cranberry sauce, you can serve lingonberry jam with both sweet and savory dishes. Swedish meatballs with jam are a classic dish. But you can also pair Felix's lingonberry condiment with roasted chicken or pork loins by making it into a sauce or marinade. If you're craving something sweet, try the spread with cookies, yogurt, or even a pie recipe. Simply enjoy the jam on a slice of toast to experience the more subtle flavor notes the berry offers. Or sample it on a charcuterie board with cured meats and smoky cheeses for a delectable party platter.
