A chile’s heat is produced in the placenta - the sack under the stem - and carried in the seeds and veins of the chile pepper.
If you want to lower the heat and up the flavor, then simply remove the seeds and veins. Additionally, adding fruit will help lower the thermostat.
Or, if you want to crank up the heat, then chop the seeds to release more of the capsaicin.
When preparing dishes with chile peppers, some cooks protect their hands with gloves when handling the chiles.

This recipe is Hot! the chiles tend to settle into the bottom of the container in which you store the sauce. So, before you use the sauce, be sure to shake the container to distribute the chiles evenly.

1/2 clove garlic
