Right now, I’m going to get some pH testers, make a batch of habanero salsa the way I usually do, and see what the pH is. If it’s 4.0 or lower, then I can water bath. (4.6, I know, but the strips aren’t that accurate.) What I’m not going to do is spend $100 on a pressure canner to save $6 on peppers.

Large Big Green Egg, Weber Performer Deluxe, Weber Smokey Joe Silver, Fireboard Drive, 3 DigiQs, lots of Thermapens, and too much other stuff to mention.

johnec00 I just got the test strips, and tested both my red and green salsas; I’m between 3.5 and 4.0 with each. And that’s what I would expect, lime is one of my favorite flavors and I always go a little heavy on it!
Both of those were water bath canned, and they’ve been kept in the fridge all along as well. They’re both perfectly fine; I treat them like any other condiment.
