    Ah, in my research, I did also come across this specific meal being a traditional Swedish meal, which I guess, they chose to emulate:

    In Sweden the traditional Swedish meatballs are served with lingonberry jam alongside boiled or mashed potatoes and gravy sauce.

    Could be that IKEA replaces the lingonberries with cranberries in some regions of the world, since they’re not too different taste-wise, but I have no idea, if they actually do that.
