1. Combine the ketchup, water, and vinegar in a large pot over medium heat. Use a nonstick pot to prevent sticking and burning. Bring to a very low simmer. 2. Add the heat, one pepper ingredient at a time, every 2 to 3 minutes to give each ingredient time to release. 3. And the remaining ingredients one at a time, every 2 to 3 minutes, making sure each one is fully incorporated before adding the next. 4. Simmer for at least 30 minutes to one hour to really let the ingredients marry. Longer if you want to reduce it to a thicker sauce.
