Fresh or Canned…
First, let’s get this out of the way: I prefer cranberry sauce made from fresh cranberries but in no way am I going to judge or patronize you if you have a love for the canned version. We all have the right to choose, so let’s move on.
But I will ask those canned sauce lovers to give fresh sauce a chance, just once. Maybe this is the one time you try it and decide? I can’t promise you’ll love it because again, we all have the right to choose, but I do want everyone to give it a try.
Martha’s Vineyard Sea Salt
Cape Cod Cranberry & Candied Ginger Sauce with Martha’s Vineyard Sea Salt in Blueberry Honey – yes, that special jar of salt you see right there is the finishing touch in this cranberry sauce. It balances out the sweet and tart cranberries!
Martha’s Vineyard Sea Salt is the Vineyard’s first operating salt works in nearly 200 years and is produced by husband and wife team of Heidi Feldman and Curtis Friedman, a tech consultant-turned-entrepreneurial farmer and carpenter who share a commitment to local, sustainable food production and a deep love of Martha’s Vineyard.

Cape Cod Cranberries
This recipe is super simple, comes together in about 15 minutes, and has a great balance of sweet, tart, spicy, and salty all in one. A good recipe needs to hit a few notes, so it’s not flat. Sometimes you’ll taste a cranberry sauce that is just sweet, and that’s no fun.
Because I used both fresh Cape Cod cranberries in this recipe, along with fresh and candied ginger, you get a blend of flavors that pair perfectly well with a big savory holiday dinner. A dollop of this on the side of your plate, to have with every bite, is just what I love about it.
