Tonight we used them fresh in homemade salsa. We usually put them in recipes fresh or, when there are a lot, make jalapeno jelly.

Hubby has just started to eat jalapeños consistently. I didn’t get any planted this year but, plan to next year…not sure if he will be able to take the heat of them fresh. But, I have canning supplies handy and don’t mind doing that.
I made jalapeño jelly a couple of years ago…hubby and dad both LOVED it!
