Lingonberries can be stored in several ways to prolong their shelf life. Fresh lingonberries should be refrigerated in an airtight container and will last for about a week. For longer storage, freezing is ideal. Simply spread the berries on a baking sheet and freeze individually before transferring them to a freezer bag; they can last up to a year. Lingonberries can also be made into jams or preserves, which can be stored at room temperature until opened, then refrigerated.
