excellent sauce! dang hot though. i used carrots as i did not have any sweet potato. very simple to make with very tasty results. i left the seeds in the peppers(red jalapenos) and dh said it was perfect heat. will definitely make again.

I used habs and jalapenos and it isn't crazy hot, warms your whold mouth. Good tasting hot sauce, but not what I expected. It tastes more like a relish. It won't go to waste, but not sure I will make again.

This has great flavor, but it reallllll hot! I added a little more cider vinegar and alittle more sugar to tone it down a little. Thanks Bergy for a tasty hot sauce!
