Brent; I think what is being alluded to here is botulism caused by the method of perserving your peri peri sauce as it is low in acid. Items perserved in olive oil alone are trouble looking for a place to happen. Even looking for a stuffed hot pepper recipe many have mentioned to looking out for botulism, I plan on eating mine right away! Try this page and you can follow the links to other pages to learn about potential problems in perserving chiles. http://www.chetbacon.com/caution-with-peppers.htm I built this page up last year when we had a simular discussion on the list.
