I think the really dark red ones are "Mystery Wine" peppers. One smooth skin is a standard red, not sure what it is.
Mystery Wine
???
The other reds seem to be multiple types, at least one looks like a 7 pot. Have not figured them all out yet.
It's the fat content that darkened it. The oil on the top will slowly caramelize the veggies on top darkening it. You could try skimming the fat, and reserving it.
No this plant was from a nursery in Rollingsford NH "Wentworth Greenhouses" Last number of years they have had Ghost plants, but nothing more exotic then that. Mind you their seed producers isolation seems to be done poorly since I often get mixes from them pretty often. And the "Sweet Banana"...
They are a hybrid I bought as a Ghost pepper plant from a nursery. Seems to be mixed with an orange habanero, and has a mild heat. So not so sure it even has a ghost pepper side.

Normally tomatoes by themselves are acid enough to just hot water bath can. The vinegar is added because you can't guarantee the other veggies in your salsa will be preserved by the tomatoes acid.
The Hot Pepper's questions are relevant, especially the cooked bit. If it's cooked, and the PH...
This is the second time one of my ghosts from this nursery has been a hybrid.
These look interesting this time.
These are larger thin finger long/size pods.
Had a very late plant this year due to a very cold wet spring, so the pods are late too. Only starting to get some with a...
Personally I really like garlic. I like sriracha for a few things. Not particularly hot, but the taste isn't bad. A tiny bit sweeter then I prefer though.
Ketchup doesn't need tomato. http://www.saveur.com/article/kitchen/beyond-tomatoes-four-great-fruit-ketchups Tomato is just the most common form. A store near me used to carry pineapple ketchup. Some old forms used mushrooms, or even oysters.
Odd as it sounds, technically yes sriracha meets...
