Was wondering if I can process this sauce and some of the others? Would like to make a larger batch to include in my Christmas baskets. Seem to remember reading something about processing acidic foods. Thanks

I didn't have the ground red pepper but this sauce is DELICIOUS. It's tangy and sweet without being like candy. It didn't get really thick though. I cooked it about 15-20 minutes.
