Jalapeno peppers are a variety of chili peppers and can be hot! If the heat is too much, dairy products like milk and yogurt can help put that fire out. 

 

 

Choose firm, smooth chilies. “Stretch marks” often indicate hotter peppers.

 

Wrap unwashed jalapeno peppers in a paper towel then refrigerate in a plastic bag for up to ten days. Rinse before using.
