1. Combine the cranberries, sugar, water, orange zest and juice, cinnamon stick and salt in a medium saucepan.
2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer.
3. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries start to pop.
4. Press the berries against the side of the pan with a wooden spoon and keep cooking, stirring now and then, until they are completely broken down and jam-like, about 10 minutes in total.
5. Remove from the heat and let cool about 30 minutes.
6. Stir in water 1 tablespoon at a time to reach the consistency you want.
7. Serve right away, or refrigerate for several months.
