Total Noob's First Susses

Just winged it and these came out pretty well, both fermented.
The cumin/cinnamon adds a distinct taste (might tone it down next batches).
The pineapple really comes through, it's cool.
The batch with the butternut squash was pretty thick (no water added).
The one without the butternut squash was less thick (also added water).
Some kiwi seeds are visible in the bottles (but not in pics), even after foodmilling (90% didn't make it).
The foodmill pulp makes a great seasoning powder when dehydrated.
The tumeric makes the color really nice and uniform!
For both sauces used either 2 or 1 pepper (7pod brain strain, or moruga scorpion, or trinidad something).
 
Going to make a smoked version next with less cumin/cinnamon. 
Possibly cranberries but that'll change the color. 
 
Was thinking of adding a red beet if adding cranberries.
Not sure if that red will stay through or not.
 
Thanks for everyone's help!!
 
Recipe #1 - Hotter, thicker, with BNut Squash


 
Recipe #2 - Less heat, no Bnut squash, added water to thin, and powdered ginger instead of whole


 
Label making was fun!
Would be nice to have shiny glossy labels, anyone?

Absolutely love that pineapple skull logo! I'm looking forward to label design too but I'm a true noob and still working on recipes. As far as a glossy label, i know they have a craft spray for protecting prints that leaves a glossy shine. Not sure that is the best way to go for a hot sauce label, but it was the first idea that popped in my crazy head.
