Preparation
Preparing the Leipäjuusto
Slice the cheese
Slice the leipäjuusto into 1 cm thick pieces.
Preheat the skillet
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Melt butter and cook cheese
Melt the butter, then add the leipäjuusto slices.
Do not let the skillet get too hot to prevent burning the cheese.
Making the Cloudberry Jam
Combine ingredients
In a small saucepan, combine cloudberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
Dissolve sugar
Stir over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
Simmer and cool
Simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened, then allow to cool.
You can prepare the cloudberry jam in advance and store it refrigerated for up to a week.
Cooking Process
Browning the Cheese
Sauté the leipäjuusto slices in butter until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Adjusting Heat
Reduce the heat if the butter begins to brown excessively.
Simmering the Jam
Allow the jam to simmer gently to avoid boiling over.
