This one is "real" zesty, and not for the weak at heart:
I start off with about 20 quarts of Habs. I personally use Red Savinas, Caribean Reds, and Goldens.
Pull out the old vegtable juicer, and wait for a nice day. If you want to keep your marriage together do not do this inside!
Go outside on a slighty breezy day...use caution (gloves, goggles, etc. whatever you feel necessary) as this stuff can cause some redness, pain, and intense warmth in many places. Wash and de-stem. I do not remove the seeds...juice the Habs. Normally I get about 5-7 cups of juice. (if you have a food dehydrater ...remove pulp/seeds..dry it..grind it up for your own Hab powder.)

The "SAUCE"
Pour Hab. juice in a medium sauce pan (10 qt)
Add 1 1/2 cups red wine vinegar
1 cup lime juice
1 12 oz. can tomatoe paste
2 tbls. garlic powder
2 tbls. onion powder
2 tbls. ground citrano
1-2 tbls. koser salt (to taste)

slow simmer (medium heat) until you reduce contents by about 1/2

I use 4 & 8 oz. jelly jars to can...follow hot water bath directions for acidic foods. For personal consumption it will keep in the fridge for a long time...mine never lasts long enough to spoil. Great on pizza, base sauce for wings, on popcorn, chips, adds a little zest to chile. Be creative...enjoy!
