Dumb question, but do hot sauces have to be refrigerated, or can they safely sit unsealed on a pantry shelf? Do they spoil, or does the vinegar content keep that from happening?

I have a couple of 1 - 3 month old bottles that I want to use but I'm not too sure about...

edit: Also, I want to try my hand at making my own hot sauce! Is there a recommended starter recipe, or should I just dive into making NosmoKing's recipe?

Ended up trying the following. It was... okay. Not much of an initial kick, but it's there in the aftertaste.

2 habaneros
3 cloves garlic
1/2 cup white onion
4 oz serrano peppers
4 oz diced tomatoes
1 tsp salt
1 cup water

simmered for 20 minutes, then put all ingredients in a blender along with 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar and 1 tbsp brown sugar.

First taste of it was way too much like the apple cider vinegar. After it was refrigerated it tasted more peppery. Would probably go good on pork. Next time I'll probably use white vinegar instead, and add more habaneros.
