Bit of everything sauce

I about finished doing my shopping in the supermarket today and heard them announce cut price fruit and vegies. I was the first one there and they had a big trolley full of stuff about to go off and it was $3 for as much as you could stuff into a plastic bag. Couldn't help myself and got 15 paprikas, 5 big capsicums (bell peppers), lemons, limes, some tomatoes, 3 fennel bulbs plus a bunch of other stuff. Time to make some sauce :D

Started with a few red onions and garlic

Deseeded and cut up all the paprikas, capsicums, fennel. Plus some carrots and celery.

Let all that sweat for a while then added a pineapple, mango, pawpaw some kiwi fruit.

Out of the freezer an innocent little bag of trinidad scorpions.

The juice of 3 limes and 2 lemons plus some vinegar and water.

Transferred it to the big blender and back for a simmer. Forgot to photograph that bit.

Then filled up every jar I had!

It tastes really really hot so that you don't get much of the other flavours except vinegar :P There is a very mellow fruity aftertaste though. Have to see how this one ages.

Was going to be a Bit of Everything Sauce but halfway through I started thinking how I could have added apples or mandarins or some herbs and spices so its going to have to just be another sauce.
