Pickled Peppers Heat Question
A couple weeks ago, I bought a jar of pickled jalapenos. I ate the last one 3 days ago. Instead of throwing out the jar and liquid, I cut up a fresh jalapeno and put the slices in the liquid. (I didn't remove the seeds or anything.) Tonight, I ate a few of those slices, and they basically had very little heat.
My question is: Do peppers lose some of their heat while in a pickling solution? My only other thought is that maybe that particular jalapeno just wasn't that hot to begin with? |
