Notes
Use latex gloves. You can may want to use gloves if you are using peppers especially if you are handling a few of them. This is to ensure that you do not rub your eye(s) or otherwise with them on. Once you have finished discard them immediately.
Sterile bottle. Make sure the bottle has been sterilized before pouring sauce into the bottle(s).
Keep the sauce refrigerated at all times for longevity.
It's okay to use canned, fresh or frozen mango/pineapple.
The level of heat you require is totally up to you, see the heat factor paragraph for more details
In order to omit the additional use of sugar, use fruit that is super soft because it will be sweeter. A firm mango isn't very sweet but a soft one is, you can even smell it, same applies to fresh pineapple.
If your blender or food processor isn't very powerful, you may need to add a splash of water to get the mango/pineapple to puree.
