Have you ever tried the recipe without the jalapeños? Is it still spicy? It does have the other peppers so it might have a small kick.

This is a very good recipe. My grown kids love spicy sauces. I do not. However, I have to come up with a dip for our Christmas dinner and I think this will hit or "burn" the spot.

My one son is always cooking with very spicy chilies. This will put a smile on his taste buds.
