consistency Will a hot sauce thicken up as you let it sit?

[The MadYeti]

This is a sauce I made this afternoon, using chocolate scorpions, and I believe scorpion morugas(forgive me, I'm still familiarizing myself with the varieties of peppers) peaches, tangerine juice, apricot preserve,agave, garlic, distilled vinegar, and some spices. The taste was really good. Sweet, but stings you around the lips and in the back of the throat. It's a little thinner than some of the other sauces I previously made. I plan on keeping it on the shelf for 2 weeks before I open it. Do you think it will thicken up a bit at that point? Some of you may be familiar with the name of the sauce as I'm a big Bloodsport fan haha.

If you boil your sauces they will get thicker

 

[jakester]

yeah, I think once you bottle it, it won't thicken. Cooking will get you to the right consistency. it's easier to thin than thicken...

Sometimes as it cools it thickens but the strangest thing happened with my lat batch, it actually thinned out after it cooled. Wierd

 

[The MadYeti]

Yeah I didn't want to keep adding ingredients to it to further thicken it. I don't mind the thinner consistency. Right as I bottled it I would compare it to the consistency of some of the Heartbreaking Dawn sauces. I'll see how it develops over the next couple of weeks. 

Thanks for your thoughts everyone

Next time, fill your bottles more. It just looks better. The color is awesome!

Thanks for the tip. I was not very precise with it, as this is basically for my own personal use and for some family members. But you're right, I should always make it look better. Would you suggest using a metal baster to fill the bottles or do you think a regular baster will work with high temperatures?

I'm the wrong guy to ask. I use an 8oz measuring cup w/ a lip, and a small funnel. It works for small bitches in the home.

One too many home brews, and bad eyes! I think I'll just leave the typo, as is.
