Hmmmm sounds good. A few years ago I planted them along with green peppers, the jalepeno plant that I set next to the green bell pepper plant wasn't hot. I didnt think about them crossing like that. They were really good, just not hot. All the others were hot though. ~~Blessings, Mikki

Removing the seeds makes them less hot.
Blessed Be!

The heat from jalapenos is mostly in the seed, so is it possible that the seeds were all removed (tamed)? Also, cross pollination only affects the second generation...eg. 2006 green peppers crossed with 2006 jalapenos = seed that would not come true to the parent plant it was harvested from and 2007 pepper seed would carry characteristics of both parent types. Such is why there is no point is saving hybrid seed as it is a cross of two other totally different parent plants.
No the seeds are still in there. My MIL said maybe they can them in a vinegar mixture, and let it sit and then, dump that vinegar and put fresh vinegar. Could the vinegar draw the heat out? Oh, and they don't appear to be cooked either. They're still really crunchy!
