Rinse the cranberries under cold water, discarding any soft or blemished ones.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, water, orange zest, and cinnamon stick.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste the sauce and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed.
Remove from heat, let cool, and discard the cinnamon stick before serving.
