NOTES

Because jalapeno peppers vary widely in "heat", I usually start with 2 peppers and then taste it to see if more should be added. I usually end up adding one or two extra. But it all depends on who you are serving it to!

Becuase my housemate does not like cilantro, I sometimes make 2 batches, one as above and one with fresh mint used instead of cilantro. It gives it a very different flavor. I like it both ways!
