First Ever Sauce

Behold, my first ever sauce!

Ingredients: 7 Trinidad Scorpions, 7 Ghost Peppers, 300g pineapple, 1 nectarine, lemon juice, apple juice.

I haven't tried it yet since I'm waiting for it to cool, but it looks amazing (he says with a degree of modesty)!

Are the red flecks skins from the nectarine? If so, I'd eliminate those. But not sure.
 
How long did you cook it? The pepper pieces should not be evident like that.
 
Looks so chunky there's air pockets (bottom left).
 
I boiled it for ten minutes and I do think I put a bit too much xanthan gum in it, but will the air pockets be a problem?
 
Also, can I just stir more lemon juice into the bottles to thin the sauce down a bit?
 
Air pockets aren't a problem other than trying to get a thick sauce out of the bottle.  Thin it out if it needs it, I'd be careful of too much more lemon juice.  Maybe a mix of fruit and lemon juices.  Looks Good and Sounds HOT!
