Steps:
- Cut brioche into 3/4-inch-thick slices, then into 60 (1 1/2-inch) cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon butter with 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides.

Transfer foie gras as cooked to a shallow baking pan with a spatula and arrange in 1 layer. Between batches, carefully wipe skillet clean.
- Reheat foie gras as needed in middle of oven 2 minutes, or until just hot, before assembling hors d'oeuvres. Just before serving, top toasts with lingonberry jam, then foie gras.
BAKED COUNTRY HAM WITH HONEY MUSTARD AND LINGONBERRY JAM
This recipe is adapted from Martha Stewart's Christmas: Entertaining, Decorating, Giving, an instant classic when it first appeared in 1989. Unlike a typical ham, which is tender and juicy, a country ham is dry-cured before smoking, so it is intensely salty; it's meant to be sliced paper-thin and eaten with a biscuit. Soaking the ham in several changes of water, which removes some of the saltiness, is an essential part of the preparation. Country ham is delicious served warm, at room temperature, or cold. The honey mustard and ham can be made a week and a day ahead, respectively, and stored in the refrigerator. Any leftover ham can be very thinly sliced, sealed in freezer bags, and stored in the freezer up to three months.

Steps:
- Place ham in a large pot or cooler and add enough cool water to cover. Leave in refrigerator or another equally cool place 3 days, changing water every 12 hours.
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees with rack in lower third. Drain ham and scrub clean; wrap in parchment-lined foil and transfer to a wire rack set in a roasting pan. Add 1/2 inch hot water to pan and bake ham 30 minutes. Turn off oven; keep ham in closed oven 3 hours. Turn oven back on at 500 degrees and bake 20 minutes. Turn off oven; let ham sit in closed oven at least 6 hours and up to 10 hours; do not open oven, even once. Then remove ham from oven and discard any water remaining in pan.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Trim rind and all but 1/4 inch fat from ham with a sharp knife. Score fat in a 1/4-inch-wide diamond pattern. Return ham to rack in roasting pan, fat side up, and sprinkle top of ham evenly with 1/2 cup brown sugar. Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes. Stir together remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar and Cognac in a small bowl. Brush ham with some glaze and bake, glazing every 15 minutes, until golden brown and a thermometer inserted into thickest part of flesh reaches 140 degrees, about 1 hour. Let ham rest at least 15 minutes. Transfer to a carving board or platter and garnish with rosemary.
- Stir together mustard and honey in a small bowl. Serve ham, very thinly sliced, with biscuits, honey mustard, and jam.
CREPES WITH LINGONBERRY JAM
Steps:
- For the filling:
- In a small bowl, mix together jam and cream cheese until well incorporated. Set aside.;
- For the whipped cream:
- Using a hand mixer, blend ingredients together until soft peaks form. Refrigerate until serving.
- Spray a nonstick crepe pan with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Add 2-ounces crepe batter and rotate pan until batter adheres to the sides. Allow to cook for 1 minute. Once slight bubbles start to form on the crepe, flip with a rubber spatula. Remove from the pan, place on a platter and repeat with remaining batter. Set aside.
- Place approximately 3 tablespoons jam mixture in center of a crepe and roll tightly. Repeat until all the crepes are filled and rolled. Serve on a large platter or individual plates with whipped cream alongside, if desired
Tips for Making Lingonberry Jam:
- Choose ripe, firm lingonberries: Avoid berries that are bruised or moldy.
- Use a large pot: Lingonberries will foam and splatter as they cook, so it's important to use a large pot to prevent boil overs.
- Add pectin: If you want a thick, jelly-like jam, you can add pectin to the recipe. Pectin is a natural thickener that is found in many fruits and vegetables.
- Cook the jam until it reaches the desired consistency: The cooking time will vary depending on the recipe you are using. Test the jam by spooning a small amount onto a cold plate. If the jam wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it is ready.
- Store the jam in a cool, dark place: Lingonberry jam can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 months. It can also be frozen for up to a year.
Conclusion:
Lingonberry jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be used as a spread on toast or crackers, as a filling for pies and tarts, or as a topping for ice cream or yogurt.
