It depends on what kind of flavor your looking for sweet,twangy,hickoryish,ect.
Rember to grab a ph tester as you want to keep your ph lower than a 4 if your going to keep it for an extended amount of time.
Vinigar ,salt, pinapple juice anything high in citrus acid help lower the ph.
Rocketman has a wonderful thread on fermentation if you go that route.
My basic ingredients for my jalapeno sauce are salt Vinigar homeade bbq rub and a tad of appple juice it brings out such a great flavor but lowers the burn a few notches.

The basic ingredients, I guess, would be peppers, vinegar, salt. That's Louisiana style. After that it's all up to you.
Basics of sauce making are really based on the type of sauce your wanting to make. As the boss said Louisiana style is going to be peppers, vinegar and salt. When I make a new sauce based on a style, say Jamaica, I'll research what the staples of the place are. For my Jamaican sauce I use Golden Raisins, Pineapple, Sweet Potato, etc which are things typically used in Jamaican dishes but I also like to think outside of the box in alot of my sauce making and find those really odd things to try.
Were I to list what I believe to be staples typically used in hot sauces making I think I would list Onion, Garlic and Carrots as the trinity.

there are lots of recipes here on THP in the recipes forum that have amounts listed.
Here's another good website with LOTS of recipes. Just click through them, read, read, read, and you'll get a good idea of the basic ingredients. And then if one sounds interesting for the pods you have, give it a go with a small batch. If you like it, then make a bigger batch.
