lingonberry
This tiny
cowberry (a member of the
CRANBERRY family) grows wild in the mountainous regions of Scandinavia, Russia, Canada and-in the United States-Maine. The tart red berries are available fresh only in the regions where they're grown. They can be purchased as sweet sauces or preserves, however, and make excellent accompaniments for pancakes, crêpes, puddings, etc.
