Looking for some heat in jalapeno

If you want more heat, you usually have to look beyond the jalapeno! Serrano was a good suggestion, but I prefer those mixed within a salsa.

You did not say how you are using the jalapenos?? They add a mild heat with good flavor to your dishes, but don't be afraid to blend in equivalent or hotter varieties. If it is just for poppers, then mix up some habanero or many other hotter varieties with your stuffing, people will not know what hit them.

Yeah ... kind of like a Turducken, except it's a Serrhabapeno popper!
