Cactus fig hot sauce

My Nopales- / Opuntia-Cactus had about 20 Tunas / Cactus figs. And I had a good handful of baccatum pods: Lemon drop and Inca red drop. All those fruits had to be used and I decided to cook a hot sauce. I carefully removed the prickles, peeled the figs, deseeded them and purreed them with the pods. I added red wine, honey, black pepper,salt, lemon juice and white balsamico vinegar. I simmered down the sauce and bottled it in a 250 ml bottle and a 100 ml bottle. Not too much but deeelicious!

It's habanero hot, peachy, and tropically fruity. Flavorwise I prefer batch No. 1. But I have no chance to grow tons of cactus figs in my own yard. I don't have the climate for it.

I hope to grow some fatalii next year. I would like to have that citrusy lemon drop flavor with some more heat. Maybe fatalii could work.
