hot sauce

i canned hot sauce this am. it took forever to cook down. my thumb nails are still burning but i sure hope it is worth it. canned 5 4 oz jars, 1 pint and 1 "ice cream topper" jar (this is the only one i'm waiting for to seal).

the story goes like this: tons of free pepper plants but they are all hot peppers. i've picked and picked and given away so many peppers you'd think i'd not have any left BUT if you know the large pinkish bowl from tupperware (the extra large one that came in a set of 4) that is 3/4 full After i canned 1 batch of hot sauce.

i'm going to food saver them and put them in the freezer. which will cause a problem because it will make the freezer smell like peppers and the food will have an extra little nasty flavor added.
