+#title Mango and Molasses Habanero Hot Sauce
+
+* A Warning From the Future
+
+I made this recipe very, very long ago. I didn't calculate the correct
+amount of vinegar needed to make it shelf stable, so it probably
+isn't. Reader beware.
+
+I'll probably update this in Fall 2020 as I'll have a garden again for
+the first time in a few years, and should be making some hot sauce
+with the hot peppers left at the end of the season.

+** A Justification for the Mild Variant
+
+The initial super hot sauce proved to be tasty for a moment and then
+overwhelmingly hot. Now, don't get me wrong, I like incredibly spicy
+things, but the initial flavor of the sauce was rather nice and it
+seemed a shame to have it destroyed by the habanero. With the
+replacement of some habanero by a sweet pepper the flavors come into
+balance, and the sauce becomes a rather nice adjunct to things like
+chili or black bean burritos.
