Of course, since this is the first time, be gentle....   I tend
to use lime juice along with the vinegar to get the acidity,
tasting as I go.  My hab sauces are thickened with cooked
carrots - you get a bright orange sauce that looks so innocent. 
Depending on my mood, onions, garlic, tomatoes, salt, cilantro,
sugar and assorted fruit may end up in there.  Try making
several itty-bitty batches, then a big one of the experiment
that tastes the best.  

Good luck
