I have never been a fan of jalapenos either, especially when they are pickled. I love cooking with ripe banana peppers or hot wax peppers. No real heat there, but I love sweet peppers. If I want heat and flavor, habaneros are my weapon of choice. I love that subtle apple-ish flavor of a ripe habanero. Drop a couple in a pot o' chili and you're sure to burn the nose hairs off anyone brave enough to indulge.
