I am attempting to develop a good "general purpose" hot sauce and have had some success so far, but I'm still not completely satisfied.  If you want to try an imperfect, but pretty good recipe, I'll post it.  keep in mind though, this is a very varied deal, there are dozens of different sauces that would suit different needs and tastes, so what I like may not be what you are looking for...

I have made Whitewookie's general purpose sauce with a combination of green Jalapeno and Anaheim peppers from my garden and found it very, very good.  You can play with the vinegar and Habanero content to suit your taste, but overall this recipe is outstanding.
