The ones I buy contain lemon for preservation, but I don’t like the acidic taste of lemon in tomato sauce.

      Nah, you aren’t going to buy fresh tomatoes and get the same results. They get picked too early 99% of the time when it’s for stores, so you end up with better results using canned (be it store bought or home canned).

      To be fair, if OP lives in the northern hemisphere, the season for Tomatoes is over, so it’s hard to get fresh tomatoes that doesn’t taste like water

        I live fairly up north and can confirm that fresh tomatoes do taste like water, even in summer.
