I didn't have all my usual ingredients and my sauce was too spicy (from cayenne) which accidentally shook to much from the jar, I tried toning it down with sugar and a slice of bread but neither worked, any other suggestions?

I agree with making a bigger batch of sauce to compensate for the overage of pepper and sugar. Or, you could make it into something else entirely. Maybe something sweet and hot like Tia food can be. Maybe try adding a little lemon juice to calm down the sugar. I use lemon, lime and orange juices in my fresh salsa as a preservative along with a little sugar to bring out the tomato and cut the heat of the peppers. You never taste the sugar! Might work!

You can also put some potato in the sauce that you are making. I heard that from my grandmother ages ago. Let it cook in your sauce until you are done, then fish it out. Supposedly it will soak up some of the over spicyness/sugary part.

Salt does an effective job of cancelling sugar. Extra onion and garlic has saved my butt in this situation, too. Good luck!!!

add a little bit of salt at a time stirring thoroughly and taste testing till its right you could also add a bit more of what ever liquids you are using in your sauce

you could just add more to it and make a double batch of the sauce, but not add the second amount of pepper or sugar to it..

make a larger recipe is your only hope I think. Freeze what you don't need for later use.
