looking for advice on a hot sauce I just made spicy

Method: roughly chopped yellow cayenne peppers, some white onion, garlic, and ginger. Put in saucepan, added vinegar, little salt, pinch of sugar, brought to near-boil, cut back, simmered 10 minutes. Let cool, put in blender and pureed, poured into quart Mason jar and put in refrigerator for a month, giving it a shake-up every few days.

Today, sieved the mixture and bottled 1 3/4 cups of a beautiful, fiercely spicy, golden yellow sauce. Some hot sauces get you with the after-burner, but this one just has a huge POW! of flavor at the start, with no long burn. Yes, I am cultivating way more golden cayenne plants for next year!

On to questions:

  • I'm thinking the sauce could be cut by half and still be delicious -- should that be done with straight vinegar, or do other fillers matter?
  • can I re-use the leftover pulp to make another batch? This late in the season, I'm not going to get many more peppers off the plant.

Thanks in advance!
