[CH] Chile-sauce for newbie

Would anyone mail a newbie a traditional Habanero/chile sauce receipe?

Made some experiments yesterday with what I had available... no 
habaneros, but the standard "spanish" peppers we can buy here. Since 
I had no carrots, I sweetened it up with some canned tomatoes, but 
that makes for a too ketchupy taste. 

Also, is it normal to heat onions, garlic etc before mixing? I mixed 
everything raw in a food processor, and the raw onion taste becomes 
very dominant. Tastes like a salsa, not a sauce (whatever the formal 
difference is...).

My mix (proportions absolutely unknown):

Chiles
Garlic
Onion
Tomatoes
Salt
Chili powder (mild, spice island's)
Lime
Vinegar
Olive oil
Sugar

Thanks,
Kristofer
