Notes

To adjust how spicy or mild your salsa is, adjust the amount of jalapeño seeds you use. To make your salsa more spicy add more jalapeño seeds. Use less jalapeño seeds if you want your salsa to be mild.
BE CAREFUL not to touch your eyes or other sensitive areas after cutting your jalapeño. Doing so will result in painful burning. To alleviate burning pain from jalapeños, soak the affected area in milk.
