Hot Hot Hot Sauce

I've been making hot sauce the past few years.  Dad is the one who eats it the most.  He has been eating hot stuff for so many years he says the hot sauce I make is like ketchup.  So I vowed to make a hot sauce that will burn him up!  This year Mom grew Red Savina Habaneros and Fatallis, both of which are tied for the seventh hottest pepper in the word, if my research was correct.  So last night I made that hot hot hot sauce.

I made a huge batch.  Eleven pounds of peppers.  Five and a half pounds of each kind.

I took 3 onions and a small head of garlic, chopped it and sweated it in a pan.

Took the stems off the peppers then cut them in half so they would cook better.

Then I put everything in a big pot with some salt and 2 quarts of tomato sauce and got it cooking.

After about 45 minutes it was cooked down nicely.

Then I pureed it all and put it into another small pot.

That's a lot of hot sauce!  I ended up adding 3 more quarts of tomato juice because as it cooked more it was too thick.

Then I jarred it and screwed on lids right away to seal it.

46 pints of hot hot hot sauce.  That should keep Dad burning for a while.

I tasted just a little on a spoon and it burned me up for about 20 minutes.  Tasted great, though.  Nice and fruity...until the heat hit and then that's all I could take.

Dad tasted it today and acted like it was nothing.  Then later he said, "That's the hottest you've made it yet!"  After a while he said, "I think that hot sauce may have burned a hole in my stomach."
Yess!!!  I have done it!!
