Tips
- Want more heat? Include the seeds of the jalapeno pepper. Omit the seeds for less heat!
- Wear latex or rubber gloves when handling the jalapeno pepper as the oils and seeds in a jalapeno can irritate your skin. Make sure you avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth to prevent any irritation, and wash your hands with soap and water when you are done working with the pepper.
