I made some cabbage salsa the other night and my hands were on fire for several hours from cutting up two jalapenos. And I know better too—next time I’ll make sure I wear gloves. I soaked the peppers, cilantro, and tomatoes in vinegar beforehand. I don’t know if that does any good or not to kill any buggies but none of us got sick from it.
I’m laughing because I once made jalapeno jelly, didn’t know to wear gloves. I had to sleep with my hands in ice water!!!! LOL
