Bob, I had someone recently suggest to me that a way to
use up the excess of jalapenos I got out of the garden this
year was to put 'em in olive oil - from the above, I take it
this isn't a good idea? Or could I just put them in the oil for
however long it would take to flavor the oil, and then remove
the peppers?
