Cranberries are the closest substitute for lingonberries

I saw various lingonerry jams for sale at the market today and at the
commissary just yesterday. Look in the import aisle.

World Market carries it. So do many supermarkets, sometimes with the
"gourmet" jams if the store shelves them separately from regular ones.
