Notes
Wear gloves when slicing the jalapeños to avoid the capsaicin getting on your skin and causing a burning sensation.
Usually jalapeños are not too spicy once all the seeds are removed, if you want spicier poppers, leave some of the seeds in.
Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
