dice the onion

Place all the ingredients including the reserved water into a saucepan and heat for about 20 minutes until bubbly.

Reduce the heat to a simmer for about 1 hour do not cover and stir occasionally

When it is ready, allow to cool for about 15 minutes before putting it into an air-tight quart container. Mason Jars, hot and sterilized work well for this.
