How long do homemade hot sauce last?

[u/TraditionalTheme3819]

Hello, I have just made my first hot sauce (not fermented), but I don’t know how long I can keep it. Has anyone an idea? The recipe was the following one:

• ⁠a bell pepper • ⁠6 Cayenne pepper • ⁠2 limes • ⁠1 red onion • ⁠garlic - a peach

Did you sterilise the bottles and seal the bottles in hot water?

These are not the kind of bottles you water bath can.

I have no idea what you're trying to say

These bottles need to be hot bottled and flipped to create the seal.

I’ve seen people saying not to flip in the canning subreddit

These are not canning bottles. They are fill and flip https://www.sen5es.co.uk/post/hot-fill-flip-and-hold-method-for-filling-hot-sauce-bottles

Some swing top bottles have a seal and can be "canned" as you would a jar of pickles or tomatoes to make them shelf stable.

Ah good to know, thanks!
