MY MOTHER'S BUTTER, TOMATO, AND ONION SAUCE

Steps:

• If using fresh tomatoes, peel them. Coarsely chop the fresh or canned tomatoes. Trim both ends of the onion; peel it and cut it in half lengthwise.
• Put the tomatoes, onion, butter, and salt in a 4- to 5-quart saucepan over medium heat. When the tomatoes begin to bubble, lower the heat to a slow but steady simmer.

The sauce is done when the butter has separated from the tomatoes and there is no remaining liquid.
