Help! I have three pepper plants that are starting to look like they are ready for me to do something with. But, I have no idea what to make.

Here are the three kinds I have planted. Any ideas? I tried to make basic hot sauce last year. It came out tasting horrible. Like bitter pepper skin and had the consistency of a carrot smoothie. Not sure what I did wrong. Also, I don't want to get into a world of testing the pH levels and all of that.

Any other ideas? Or if you know how to make sauce, any pointers? I see a ton of different methods out there. Here is what I am growing. Any advice on what to do with these three would be helpful.

1. Thai Sun Peppers. I'm not sure about these. This may be more of an ornamental plant. These things are full of seeds, and hot as hell. And tiny, so not sure if I want to remove the seeds for like a hundred of these.

2. Havasu Santa Fe peppers. These are nice, fairly large and seem pretty thick skinned. Medium hot from what I read.

3. Some type of orange ghost pepper. Look just like the pics below. There are about 30 of them on the plant. Most of them turned completely orange and don't look like they will change to red. Definitely these are hot.

I don't like eating anything too hot, but my cousin, who does, makes a sauce from chillis. I think you could use either of the first two types you posted. She fries onions and a tomato, adds a cut up eggplant,then adds the chillis. She puts some cumin, salt and, if you want, a little tomato paste. After everything is cooked, put it in a blender. She usually serves it with rice or a bread that she makes that Ethiopians call Injera. Sometimes she makes it brown and sometimes like the one in the picture below. There are different recipes online that you can find to make it if you are so inclined, but if not, you could use pita bread instead perhaps.
