jalapeno poppers

[gypsyman]

Am starting to get veggies out of the garden. Jalapeno's are really producing, so did some poppers last night for the first time. Really good, but have a question maybe somebody can help me with.
They were still very hot, spicy wise, not like what I am use to buying in the store or at a restaurant. Here is how I did them. Cut the top and core them. Stuffed them with a dip filling.(cream cheese,chopped table onions,finely diced smoked ham and worchestire sauce) Covered them with beer batter and rolled them in bread crumbs, in the oven for 35-40 minute's at 400. Just wondeering if there is something I forgot to do to take some of the heat out of them. If somebody were to watch the wife and I last night, they'ld probably fall out of their chair laughing. We're both sitting at the kitchen table, sweat running off our foreheads, and going back for seconds. Is there something I can do to take a little of the heat out of the pepper?  gypsyman

Have a friend who married a mexican gal, so he eats a lot of hot stuff. According to him, sugar takes the heat out. 2nd hand info here, but that's about as close to hot stuff as I come.

I use halves so that I can be sure I've gotten all the seeds out... Might try that...  I also try to buy the plants that aren't quite as hot.

Cut them in half lengthwise.  Scrape the entire inside surface with a spoon.  You want to remove a thin layer from the inside surface.  There will be very little heat if any, if done properly.  If you want some heat only scrape part of this surface.

+1   If its white it's hot. Slice them into thin sticks lengthwise. Pick out the green only ones, and eat them like bell peppers. Used to impress my buddies in college with that trick. The ones left over in the dish had the white stuff on them, it would just tear them up seeing me with no ill effects, and they couldn't eat but a few.

Didn't we do this one with Dale about a month ago?

mcwoodduck, I thought so to. But I went back 5 pages and couldn't find anything. There was on on a pepper that was suppose to the hottest one. Couldn't find anything on taking the heat out. Thanks for the suggestions, as I'll have another batch ready in a few days. I'll cut then in half, try them on the grill with a steak. gypsyman

Sorry,
I thought we were going to give the ways to cook them again.
the ribs and the seeds have a lot of the heat.
when you clean out the guts get as much of the ribs out as possible.
Williams & Sonoma has a tool to scoop the guts out of Jalapenos.  www.williamsandsonoma.com
That may help. 
Milder cheeses.
with Onions the more sulphur that is in the ground makes the onions stronger.
maybe the fertizer has a lot of something that adds to the capsation.
Don't know.

When the wife cooks mine she deep fries them and that takes allot of the heat out. The trick of deep frying them is to have both the stuffed peppers and the batter chilled before frying.That keeps the batter from seperating from the peppers.
