Am I safe?

I never really realized sauces can be dangerous until I started reading here! Tell me if my method is safe, and what to do if it isn't please!

I take my raw peppers and other ingredients and blend until small as I want. I then put in a bottle, add salt and vinegar and put into a pot of water to simmer until the onilons and whatever is cooked all the way. Sometimes I'll cook longer to make the sauce "set" faster.

Is this OK? I have some that's a few years old and still seem fine to me.
 
It totally depends if you'r eating it fast, refrigerating, watercanning or pressure canning. It appears you're water canning, but you should follow correct procedures and check pH
