Hey Art! For the basic sauce type you describe I'd suggest something along the lines of this basic recipe:
1.5 lbs peppers (I'd use about 4-8oz morugas mixed with your choice of ripe jalas, fresnos, etc type pepper)
1 lb tomatoes
3 cups vinegar
1-2 cups water
1/2 an onion
3-4 cloves garlic
1-2 tsp salt
1-2 tbsp honey
Chop up everything (save the salt and honey) and put it into a stock pot, bring it to a boil, reduce heat, cover and cook for 30 or so minutes. Blend it up/strain it, taste it and adjust with salt and honey. Then bottle it and pass out to lucky friends!
(note - this is a very simple/basic recipe, feel free to add/omit to your tastes)

I have a Brown, a Chocolate and a Caramel Moruga plant. They are loaded with pods that are on the verge of ripening.

Thank you. I'll sure give a try.
Smoken has a good recipe there . More heat just use your moruga peppers less heat mix them with others. I just made a similar recipe with 30 of my carribean reds this morning and tomatoes from my garden minus the honey which I normally use in my sauces. I wanted to see the full flavor of the peppers in this sauce. The finished sauce came out to be 16 ounces.
My go-to sauce recipe utilizes 4 ingredients. 1# tomatoes, peppers of choice, 1/2 white onion, 1.75 cups chicken/vegetable broth.
Roast the tomatoes and peppers under the broiler rubbed with oil. Peel the tomato skins off and blend the tomatoes and peppers together. Take out pepper seeds/ribs as you want. Dice the white onion and cook in oil till browned , 7-10 minutes. Add the blended mixture, reduce a bit then add the broth and reduce. Blend the final mixture.
You get a very nice red sauce, but it's the pepper flavor profile which really come out. I personally love this with jalapeños or scotch bonnets but I don't see why morugas wouldn't work, but it will be HOT
