Success!
     After a bout with impatience during the Rams' rout of
the Vikings, I jumped the gun by ten months and cracked
open the jar of sauce aging in my pepper room.  The recipe 
called for aging for a year, but I just couldn't wait any longer.
     I dumped the mess in the blender, pureed it, ran it 
through a sieve and forced as much pulp as possible through.
The resulting sauce is orange-brown and has a reasonable
amount of suspended particulate matter.
     It really is quite tasty.  Just a hint of vinegar, followed by
rich habanero flavor coupled with a strong but not over-
powering garlic taste, then a nice burn that lingers at the 
back of the mouth and throat.
     Dipping a nacho chip into it to taste didn't do it justice,
so I made a quick run to taco hell to test it out.  Oh, yes, it
made the mass-produced pseudo-mexican "food-stuffs" 
very palatable, indeed.
     I most heartily recommend dwc's recipe to any and all
who care to experiment.  I will let future batches age longer
with the hope of increasing the mellowness of the sauce.  I
will also be sure to give the main ingredients (chocolate
habs and orange Francisca habs) more room in the garden
this spring.

Scott... hoping for enough to start home-canning... KCK
