How to Make Baltic Dark Rye Breakfast Skyr with Lingonberries

Total time: 47 min · Yields 4 servings

1
Toasting the Bread
Toast the buttered rye in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) until edges are crisp, about 8-10 minutes.

Simmering the Berries
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine lingonberries, sugar, and water. Simmer until the berries burst and the mixture thickens slightly, around 10 minutes.
