In a medium saucepan, bring satsuma mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in sugar and salt, and increase heat to medium-high; cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is thickened and an instant-read thermometer registers 210°F (98°C), 35 to 40 minutes.
