Any way to cool down a jar of Jalapenos??

[StephenShave]

I buy a particular brand of Jalapenos which are usually pretty consistent in their 'heat' quality, however, this new jar I opened, well, they'd blow your head off (One gave me hiccoughs which I haven't had in years!) LOL Is there any way to cool them down by adding something to the jar, or should I just toss them and get some more?

You could drain the brine they are soaking in and re-fill it with a new brining solution. Might help if they sit in it for a while.

In addition to the above, take the seeds out.

It's the pith more than the seeds that are hot. If they are in brine replace it with vinegar, or replace the vinegar, chilli oil will dissolve in vinegar but not brine. Or just make sure you eat them with soured cream, yoghurt or mayo.

Beer also works well to quell the fire in one's mouth. Just don't drink water.

Tequila also works, or at least replaces the fire in your mouth with a different burn...

What's the brand in question?

if your tongue/ mouth is too hot (by chili) i found that if you disolve a little sugar on your tongue that the heat is gone in a few minutes. Or full fat milk or yoghurt (the fat will coat your tongue) is also very helpfull. Don't drink because you will get it in other parts of your mouth.

This is what I found (my wife is from Indonisia and we eat a lot I mean a lot of chili's, we even grow them our selfs and because they all are different in the heat scale, sometimes I also have these tricks )

Good luck trying!

Soaking in vinegar, replacing the current soaking medium, all this will help to mitigate the heat, but if they're inherently hot, there's not too much you can do.
