Darlin' boy, I've still got half-full bottles from The George Shirley
Millenium Collection of Goor-met Hair Removers --errm, Hot Sauce. Might
should have a coupla other empty poury saucy bottles with your name on
'em, too. Have faith.

Most of the hot sauce bottles available have plastic lids and
couldn't handle a BWB. I've made hot sauce for years with nothing but
the chiles and vinegar and never had a bottle go bad. No bwb, no
canning at all. The vinegar is usually sufficient to keep the bad
bugs out if the chiles don't. YMMV

I buy 5 or 6 cases of them every couple of years because most people
don't think to return them for reuse.

Looking over my collection of hot sauces, it occured to me it would
be fun to make some superhot stuff from garden peppers and can it
to give to friends (warning them first ofcourse even if they know
me well enough to expect something incendiary).

Is it possible to find bottles for HWB canning? A lot of
commercially available hot sauces are produced by Mom & Pop
outfits. Do they have special equipment?

BTW, something about the term "canning" when I'm referring to small
bottles (hot sauces come in bottles that have a capacity of about 6
ounces) doesn't seem right.
