i have no idea how the swedish can grow enough lingonberries to supply an international furniture store with jam. the fruit takes 2 years to mature and are tiny and the plants are a bugger to grow. (practically got to grow them in a pine forest or something).
this has been a cracking jam year though. soft fruit aplenty.
I've read that Lingenberry is the same as a common Scottish berry; maybe Cloudberry?
Anybody know which it is?

cloudberry and lingonberry are not exactly the same thing...
cloudberry is related to rasberry (rubus sp.)
lingonberry is related to bluberry (vaccinium sp)
check it.
