Interesting. I'm going to have to try this sometime.

But how do you add the jalapeno? Do you add it as pulp? squeeze it? Or
is there a dried jalapeno I'm not aware of?

Why jalapeno? From what little I've read, which doesn't include the
originals,
they seem to be talking about chili peppers, not jalapenos. They don't taste
the same.

Comments anyone?

a half dozen to a dozen different dried or fresh peppers for sale.)
