They are called "Preiselberren" here, and you can get them at Spar, but not in the section selling the usual jams/preserves...look in the section where they sell tortillas, soy sauce, etc. I don't know why they put it there. Coop probably also stocks it.

Also, at the Ikea food shop by the exit you can buy big glass jars of Swedish cranberries (the ones they serve with Swedish meatballs), they call it lingonberry jelly.

Both are better than the Cranberry-in-a-can that comes out as one gelatinous can-shaped lump that you get in the US.
No, sorry Mr. Karl, Preiselbeeren are not Cranberries. Close, even closely related, but Cranberries are certainly NOT called Preiselbeeren here.
