No. 3835 — Cooked Lingonberry Pastila
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3835 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
For four cups lingonberries use two cups honey or sugar.
Boil until so thick that a sample cooled on an iced spoon can be cut with a knife.
Spread the mixture on a dish as thickly as desired. Once set, slice into long strips, dust with sugar and pack in jars or boxes.
Historical editorial note: The historical setting test does not establish validated moisture or safe storage duration.
