next time, try papaya rather than honey, i made a batch with habaneros, last fall, it really has a nice flavor, this is why i am growing papayas now.

A hot sauce purist would never use something that overpowers the flavor of the peppers.
If you want pure pepper flavor..
Take dried peppers, either one kind or a mixture, alone or with other dried herbs in. Like, garlic & onion powder.
Then, grind this into a fine herbal powder.
Once you got that, add two parts by weight of olive oil to every 1 part of weight of herbal powder. Stir/blend well. It is peanut butter consistency you are after.
Then, let this stand for a week.
The resulting goop is a dynamite hotsauce. If you can picture its heat when using cayenne, imagine an all-habanero or even Bhut putty.
You use this as a cooking ingredient, to add heat and flavor to a meal while cooking.
The olive oil not only blends and strengthens the flavors, it also acts like a natural preservative.
If its a hot cooking oil you're after - same basic recepy but then with 10 parts by weight olive oil to 1 part by weight of pepper mix, then after a week at room temperature in the dark, filtering out the solids to yield a bright red fiery cooking oil.

The health dept. actually warns against putting stuff in oil for extended periods of time, they say it developes batchulism ( sp? ).
I don't have any need to use dried ingredients, i am kinda fussy about stuff i make haveing been in culinary for many years, plus i have a butt load of fresh peppers available most of the time.
But thanks.

I recently obtained a used oak whisky barrel in my travels; Im toying with the idea of aging a sauce in the barrel for a few years, but I fear spoilage. I dont know much about aging hot sauce
