Put it all on a simmer for about an hour...

Put it all in a food processor, then through a mesh strainer.

Congrats! This was my first year as well, and I used very similar recipes to yours, but I didn't strain mine. Very simple, but delicious! It becomes very addictive very fast I've noticed. Best of luck on future sauces!

Very nice! I made my first "official" sauce as well this year, and couldn't be more excited! I imagine you're pretty stoked as well

This my first year as well. My garden mainly consisted of habs and cayennes. We did plant some jalapeños but for some strange reason they grew well but had absolutely no heat whatsoever. You could cut one open and grind it in your eye and you'd be fine. They tasted like green peppers. For next year I've already ordered some seeds... Trinidad moruga scorpions, naga vipers, Carolina reapers, and scotch bonnets. I'm going to do the habs and cayennes again since they are a safe bet, and I'll probably order some jalapeño seeds from far away to make sure I'm getting away from the local gene pool. :)

That's odd that your jalapeños weren't hot.. Quite a bit off topic, but it makes me think about when I took a trip to Canada and tried to get some hot wings and they were like mild wings! Not the least bit hot. I thought maybe it was just that Canadians don't like the heat. Lol. Glad to see it's not like that everywhere!

I think the mango one is a little bit more fun to eat. I will either add another mango or throw in a second fruit next time to make it a little sweeter. But their both great!
