Important safety correction. Earlier versions gave wrong pH and storage advice: the pH guide called sauce below pH 3.5 shelf-stable with no heat step, suggested pH strips before blending, and the pH badge said "Safe" below 4.0. The correct rule: measure the finished, blended sauce with a calibrated pH meter (strips only at pH 4.0 or below), aim for 4.2 or lower and never bottle above 4.6. Keep sauce at room temperature only after a hot-fill-hold (180-200°F / 82-93°C, held 2-5 minutes); otherwise refrigerate. Also new: record the finished sauce's pH in Edit Batch, comma decimals work in pH fields, and the subscription screens show the renewal price, with the first-year offer only when your Apple Account can use it.
