Well my plants have been still producing like rabbits up until now. This morning was the coldest of the year, and all my plants were pretty ugly this morning. So I went outside and clipped off every pepper still on the bushes. Ive been picking them off about once a week, vacuum sealing, and freezing for a massive hot sauce project later when I get time. I had enough from this mornings picking for a trial run. I think I have the recipe down pat.
Anyone that knows me, knows I do not like to use recipes and I sorta eyeball measurements, and adjust as necessary. Here is the best I can do

Picked all peppers off bushes to make about 1/2 blender full of coarse chopped peppers(Cayenne, jalapeño, Thai sun peppers, Tabasco's, Anaheim, and Thai dragons are what I have left growing). All these were green.

1/4 of a large red onion
4 large cloves fresh peeled garlic

1tbsp sea salt
t tsp fresh black pepper

1 tbsp pure cane sugar

1 bottle red wine vinegar

Put everything in blender until liquefied. Taste with a spoon and adjust seasonings as needed.

I think I got this about right. It is not real super hot, but has an "afterbite" that sneaks up on you. My mouth is numb at the moment from tasting it, so I am going to let it sit overnight and taste it again in the morning. I might go ahead and take all the rest of the peppers out of the freezer and make a huge batch and send out as gifts

Doesn't look like much, but this is a huge jar

I make homemade salsa and eat it right away, no preservatives and it will go bad quickly.
