Return mixture to the pot and puree the cut-up raw chilies in batches, scraping each batch into the pot with the vegetables. Pour in the vinegar and lime juice and bring the mixture to a simmer. Just as it begins to bubble, turn off the heat. Cool completely and store in a plastic container with a tight lid in the fridge. Keeps indefinitely. Use on everything.
