my pepper relish brings all the boys to the yard

It hurt to cut up those beautiful Scotch bonnets. It hurt my husband more because there was a tear in gloves he was using. Then he had to go to work. He had previously made a batch of pepper relish using apple cider vinegar, which made my house stink for 3 days, and made all the neighbors come over to ask what the horrible smell was and could I make it stop. I made this batch in an effort to improve on the last, including 5 different hot peppers, green tomatoes and white vinegar and the beloved garlic. It was beautiful cooking, smelled awesome, and was told is very good. I haven't tasted it because I am afraid of it. I have been told it very hot!
