For a gift

Pair the cranberry apple cider vinegar with a cranberry walnut cheese spread, or a box of cranberry orange biscotti with Cranberry Crush rooibos tea.

Good to know

What can I make with cranberry vinegar?

Salad dressings, a splash in pan sauces for turkey or pork, roasted vegetables, or a shrub with sparkling water.

Is cranberry salsa spicy?

Savannah Sauce Company's is fruit-forward, with onions, tomatoes and spices. If you want heat, the Brushfire Farms cranberry pepper sauce is gently hot.

Will it get there before Thanksgiving?

Each maker ships on its own schedule, and the product page says what that maker can do. Shelf-stable items are the safest bet close to the day. If timing matters, order early so it arrives a few days ahead.

How does shipping work?

Each maker packs and ships its own items, so shipping is each maker's own rate, shown at checkout, usually $8 to $15 for one item. Anything else from the same maker goes in the same box. Perishables like cheese go out Monday to Wednesday in insulated packaging.
