In Sweden there are four seasons and the temperature between the seasons usually vary between -15 and 25 degrees. It can actually get even colder and warmer, the coldest temperature ever measured being -53 degrees and the warmest temperature ever measured being 38 degrees. That’s over 90 degrees difference!

Although this is very rare it is true that the temperature in Sweden varies a lot. Therefore it is important to be able to play outside, no matter what weather it is.

Here are a few tips and recipes from Sweden. Have fun!

If you are missing an ingredient or two, ask an adult what to use instead. For example: if you only have two eggs you can make a smaller batch.

Don't worry!

Bilberries are European blueberries. Some other names include whortleberry, myrtle blueberry or whinberry. The Bilberry is actually a short shrub, a family member of the genus Vaccinium which has over 450 varieties.

It features a greenish, branched and inflexible stem. The pinkish, waxy flowers blossom during spring and early summer.

The bilberry fruit is smaller compared to the blueberry and they are almost similar in flavour. The simplest way to distinguish the whortleberry is it grows solitary or paired berries instead of clusters, like the blueberry does. Bilberries are deeper than blueberries in colour, and usually look near black along with a little blue tone. Furthermore, the blueberry's flesh is light green in colour, while the whortleberry is purplish or red.

Bilberry is often eaten fresh or made into jam, juices pies and fruit fools. It can also be used as a base to produce sherbet flavouring and various other desserts.
