Fruit
Skin
Lingonberry skin is the thin, tough red outer layer that gives whole berries their snap and carries mild bitterness and pigment. In whole-berry sauces the skins stay suspended for texture; in fine jellies they are strained out after cooking. Colour leaches into sugar syrups during simmering. There is no separate peel prep—skin is always part of the berry unless you sieve a purée. Overcooking softens skins until they lose pop; brief heat keeps more bite for meatball accompaniment.
