Pumpkin Habanero Hot Sauce

I created my third hot sauce yesterday! I wanted to try something seasonal and I decided to go with pumkin habanero.
 
I found some recipes online but mostly created this on the fly.
 
6 Habaneros - Roasted
.6 lbs canned pumpkin
1.5 cups apple cider vinegar
1.5 cups water
Salt (to taste)
Cinnamon Sugar (to taste)
 
The flavor came out with a nice sweet taste almost like pumpkin pie but it also delivered the kick I was looking for with the habaneros. I would definitely recommend this! It yielded 3 full 8 oz. jars.
 
If anyone has any additional tips on pumpkin sauces or has any other feedback, let me know!
 
Also, if you try it...good luck!
 
 
 
I base most of my sauces on pumpkin or squash. I love the flavour and the thickness they give to the sauce, and I use it with about every food. My family and friend's that have tried it like it a lot as well.
 
Tis the season for seasonal hot sauces, I just posted this same recipe in another post!  Still had it on theclipboard~~  :lol:
 
 
[SIZE=medium]Pumpkin Hot Sauce- Hot[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]1 can Pumpkin (~2 pounds)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]5 # fresh red Peppers (Fresno, the generic red chiles from the supermarket)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]2 bags Dried Cranberries (sweetened Craisins)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]10 oz Sweet Onion [/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]4 oz Garlic[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]6-8 leaves of Fresh Sage[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]2 cups balsamic vinegar[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]1 tsp Sea salt[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Beer &/or wine to cover[/SIZE]
 
This turned out fairly thick, we had to use a good bit of wine/beer to thin it out.  One time we used white wine, another time it was a good hearty dark beer.  
 
You could use a couple of red bell peppers for some bulk and whatever hot peppers you want.  Follow the usual cook/blend/heat/hotfill-hold~~~
 
 
It went well on all kinds of white meats, not too sweet.  
We used the wide mouth sauce bottles (like a salad dressing bottle)m instead of woozies.  Too Thick, but you can make it the consistency you want.
 
Apple juice could be used also, instead of beer or wine.
