How could I use this recipe to cann for shelf life instead of the refrigerator?
Remove the jalapeño seeds to render peppers much less hot yet more flavorful.
Yes I just add 1 jalapeno but if you like a little more spice you can slice up another one.
On the amount of jalapeños, is that a typo “i”? Was it 3? (Above “i” on the keyboard, or “1”?
