Sorry for the lack of photos but i just made my first batch of these last night and for the most part they were awesome but dam they were wayyyyy to hot.I sent the wife to buy the peppers so maybe she bought the wrong ones but these were way hotter than anytime ive ever made salsa and used fresh jalapenos?? Any tricks to taking the heat out of these?? And i did remove all the seeds and veins. Thanks for any input.

Just rinse and soak them in cold water for about 3-5 minutes before stuffing them should improove.

After removing all the seeds and veins completely the jalapenos should be very mild. It sounds like the wife might have purchased something much hotter! ::)

What muebe said...removing veins and seeds usually cuts the heat...

What they said above about the Jala"s...should be very mild after cooking. Would have been helpful to see the peppers.

Maybe the wifey grabbed habaneros instead? :P

I had the same issue last weekend with what i'am sure were jalepenos. I will try soaking in water first today

I have had the same problem one time!

Thanks

Hi Guys, Jalapeno's and most chile peppers will have a heat variance during the year depending on several factors. It is really difficult to gauge the heat level of a jalapeno throughout the year (even from the same field). the heat comes from the ribs so when you take them out that should help a bit but does not always guarantee that all of the heat will be gone. habanero's are def different type of heat and def much hotter. they are distinctly different in appearance and I doubt that you got them mixed up. Soaking them will result in flavor loss and I wouldn't recommend that. Just taste them before use and use more or less depending on where you want the heat dialed in.

I've learned that peppers from the store are hit or miss on heat. Some have no heat and the next one lights you up. The ones with lines or veins on the outside of the pepper are generally the hotter ones.
