What should I do with them (other than box them up and send them to you)

The one on the left is a strawberry habanero, the one on the right is a blackberry, blueberry, cayenne mix
I haven't tried them yet
Soak some peanuts in them and smoke, then dehydrate.
Deb,
Maybe try this for the black and blue.
i have not made it yet but it is on the list.

Directions:
In medium saucepan, combine all ingredients. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened (20 to 25 minutes).
*Frozen blueberries can be substituted for fresh blueberries; omit 1/2 cup water in recipe.
FLB - Perfect!
UIS - that looks really good.
Thanks!
They say MED so they will not be that hot. The strawberry would go good with the Raspberry/Chipotle sauce.
Both would probably be good on ice cream if they are as sweet as they sound. ???
Deb;
Blackberry and/or blueberry sauce is good on pork and chicken. There are a couple of sauces on the recipe site that use blue berries and blackberries. Those hot sauces would kick up the flavor a bit.
The strawberry hot sauce may be nice to kick up a strawberry sauce for dessert such as a topping for ice cream or smores etc, or maybe kick up the flavor of strawberries in balsamic vinegar.
Looks like some good ideas so far Deb. I think you'll have to give them a taste though.
I might try this (if I could make a decent muffin). If the black & blue isn't too thick, reduce it. Then glaze blueberry muffins with it and sprinkle on the usual sugar crystals while it's still tacky.
Thanks everyone.
My initial thought was chicken & pork...
Arnie - the blueberry muffin idea sounds like a nice change. It is thin so would need to be reduced. I got it at a store over towards you. There is an artisan food store on Main St in Southbury, really close to exit 14 (get off 84, turn right onto main st, maybe 1/2 mile down on the left). They had an awesome selection of New England cheeses.
I'm eating some of the black & blue on leftover turkey meatloaf. I didn't put enough on >:( There's a tiny bit of heat but not getting the flavor. Needs more.........
There is potential for these sauces.... :D
