Dillo's X-Mas Hot Sauce

[Armadillo]

Again I bought a hand full of cactus figs and I had some orange chinenses left. So I decided to cook some hot sauce again. I had some oranges and some tangerines and I had the idea to use them instead of the lemon juice for some acidity. In two days there will be the first Sunday of the Advent and my wife saw my preparations. So she suggested some vanilla and cinnamon for a Christmas sauce. I added a few candied dates, a cinnamon stick and part of a bourbon vanilla pod, one cup of mead vinegar, one cup of rum, black pepper and salt.

I put the pureed ingredients in a pot with one cinnamon stick and simmered it down.

A pureed cinnamon stick would have been way too much, so I removed the stick after cooking.
Here's what came out of the sauce pan:

Sauce is looking good.

How strong is the cinnamon flavor Dillo?

It only gives a nice twist. I didn't want it to be overwhelming. That's why I didn't grind it so that I could remove it after cooking.

Pretty sauce and those ingredients sound very tasty. Nice one!

Thanks for the reply. I like cinnamon but for some reason never thought of adding it to a hot sauce.
