Notes
Tips on using fresh jalapenos
Start with 1–2 jalapeños, depending on how spicy you like it.
For a milder flavor, slice the peppers open and remove the seeds and white membrane—this is where most of the heat lives.
Always wear gloves or wash your hands thoroughly after handling jalapeños, and avoid touching your eyes. The oils can cause a burning sensation that’s very uncomfortable.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
