This is my basic hab mash technique:

(from Cuisines of Well-Ventilated Areas)

Stem and chop the peppers.  You can knock out some of the seeds if you like, 
but don't slow yourself down worrying about getting every seed.  Also 
process any onions, garlic, etc.  You can run them through a food processor 
now, or later.

Cook the peppers, with a bit of extra fluid (try apple cider) until they are 
tender.  Run them through a food processor.  Use a ladle to run them through 
a seive, using the back of the ladle to press the mash through, and the edge 
of the ladle to scrape the seive.  (You get a seedy pulpy mash as a 
by-product, you can soak this in vinegar.)  Now you should have a mash with 
a texture similar to a typical Louisiana hot sauce.  It can be served from 
squirt-top bottles.

Then, adjust the flavor and acidity as you like.  Keep it gently simmering 
and pour into hot canning jars, etc.
