In Newfoundland we call them partridgeberries, and my mother picks them for jams and quickbreads. We’re great rum-drinkers in Newfoundland, through, on account of being on the trade routes between the West Indies and Northern Europe in centuries past. I will try this for Christmas in the UK, if my Ikea carries the berries.

Mmmm… reminds me of the lingon berries I ate in Sweden many years ago. Nothing else is quite the same!

I can see the nice colour you’ve got by adding black currants! And although I know lots of wonderful lingonberry fields, then none of them are in my back garden :) Lucky you!!

Although I’d probably use gin instead of rhum, your drink sounds really delicious! I love the idea of black currant syrup.
