 I live in Cape Town, South Africa and was hoping you could put me in touch
 with some information regarding the preparing of Chilli Sauces. I've
 picked up the basic recipes from the recipe pages but I'd really like more
 professional information particularly on :
 
 *	Sterilizing of bottles
 *	cooking or not cooking of the ingredients first
 *	preventing "blowing"...this I believe is a massive problem when
	 chilli sauce bottles erupt as a result of bacteria and volatility
 *	ensuring maximum flavor 
 *	what are the best preservatives to use, what types of vinegar to use
 	& not to uses etc.
 *	some good sauce recipes 
 *	how to manage "hotness" of the sauce
 *	natural ingredients
 *	how long can the bottled sauce last
 
 Thanks a ton mate
