Add the salt and cranberries, bring to a boil then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes or till most of the berries have burst. Remove from the heat. It will look runny at this point but will thicken as it cools. Garnish with orange zest and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Adding a pinch of salt helps to enhance the flavours.
