[CH] Emus & some chile stuff

Oddly enough, southeast Kansas has become a hot bed of Emu ranching. I
know a bunch of guys who made big bucks selling breeding pairs of Emus. I
also know a bunch of guys who have lost their butts. Apparently there is
still little commercial market for the meat, but the oil & leather seems to
sell.
Chile related stuff to stay on topic-- My 3 y.o. habs didn't make it
through this winter. Really disappointing. I'm not entirely sure what
went wrong. These plants were transplanted back and forth a couple of
times, maybe the last time the shock was just too much. I think I'll keep
the potted ones in the pots and let the ones in the garden go this year.
Since my non-CH wife left I'm going to expand both variety and quantity of
peppers planted in the garden this year.
I found a baste recipe & would appreciate some input. What can I
substitute for some of this vinegar?
4 cups pineapple juice
2 cups orange juice
2 cups vinegar
6 chipotles
3 TB cumin
2 TB cracked peppercorns
Simmer & reduce quantity to 1/3.
Seems too vinegary for my tastes. Haven't tried it with any other peppers.
