Extra jalapenos??    I urge you to become 'Maestro del Humo' (Master of the 
Smoke) and try some homemade Chipotle.  Food of the gods, that stuff!

Just as the Jalapenos begin to blush to that dark mahogany color before 
turning red (but sill mostly green), perpare a bed of hardwood coals and put 
on 
some hickory or maple chips (green, sappy) if you can't get mesquite in that 
condition (don't use dry chips).   Put the whole peppers on the grill and 
cover 
them ... like a smoker only you need lots more heat.  Turn the peppers once 
or 
twice until they blister and char all over.  Let them cool and rub off the 
charred skin and remove the seeds (or not).

Then you can freeze it or else add some vinegar and salt and can it.

Warning!!  There's no going back after this.   </HTML>
