Wash the tomatoes, remove the stems, and chop them into large pieces. Finely chop the onion and place everything in a very deep pot with the water and a little salt. Once it starts to boil, simmer for about 25 minutes over medium heat. Once cooled, pass the tomatoes through a food processor and collect them in a bowl. Return the tomato mixture to a pot, bring to a boil, and immediately pour into bottles or large glass containers. It can be stored for over a year. Keep in a cool, dark place if possible.
