I would strain the mix before bottling it that will rid the sauce of bits of seeds, etc. Also consider adding garlic and onion before puree-ing the stuff. Yum.
Nice chiles.
I grow heirloom tomatoes and peppers for a living - all organic, hydroponic in greenhouses.
Nothing can beat a salsa or pico made with heirlooms.
Only recently have I been introduced to heirloom tomatoes, and they are so sweet, heaven in a tomato.
I've made homemade salsa for years, with a chili variety, and one of my favorites recipes is Cowboy Caviar, using anchos, jalapeno, yellow chilis, habanero.
We have something called "texas caviar" with chiles and peppers and black eyed peas, usually we make it on new years...
Heirlooms are great, people seem to really like the Black varieties from Russia, my wife likes the "oxheart" varieties. My favorite is a watermelon beefsteak - black green and reddish pink, looks like watermelon. The Italian vrieties are great for making sauces, a roma style paste tomato. I currently grow 22 varieties of heirloom tomatoes, and 6 varieties of heirloom peppers. All organic hydroponic, pesticide free. I would rather lose an entire crop than put poison on my plants. Google heirloom and switch to images, some of these things are art plain and simple.
All the flavor has been bred out for uniformity and hardness to withstand shipping, same thing with alot of things. We just ate our first free range chicken we raised, took about a year and a half to get to weight (no hormones or antibiotics), and the taste was incredible, it tasted like chicken, not some "generic" white meat.
All my toms are picked ripe and delivered promptly, peak of ripeness.
It's very satisfying to eat something you grew yourself.
I often say that a neat thing to do would be to take someone who has eaten an all-American diet and trick him/her into eating something really spicy (chiles would work just fine). I expect that the person would, as I like to say, go all Roger Rabbit (in reference to the scene in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" where he drinks alcohol).
