Lingonberries or Lingon Preserves in the East Bay

A friend brought me some delicious lingon (in a jar) from Sweden late last year. Where can one find lingonberries (preserved, nice and tart, not too sweet) in the East Bay? I know there was a thread a few years ago on this, but the recommended sources either no longer exist or no longer carry lingonberries. Thank you.

    I think Nordic House, which has moved to Berkeley, has a larger selection than Ikea.

      Yes, I bought a frozen tub of them there for $5 about 6 months ago. Not a bad price IMO.
      Cool store too...

        Also great for Knäckebröd (cracker bread) and Elderflower syrup.

          Elderflower syrup! Thank you for the tip. I didn't know IKEA carried it and was going to try and make some myself (finding elderflowers being the key timing problem).
