How funny, CathyM. Does your GrandDaughter like poppers now? Depending on how much of the membrane and seeds you remove has a lot to do with how hot the finished product is. BUT, and this is a big BUT...if the peppers suffer from draught during the growing process they are hotter than if they have a normal water supply so when you select peppers from the grocery store, you have no idea the degree of heat you're buying. I make these sometimes and my DH's little bald head sweats and turns bright red and the next time I make them I leave more seed and membrane in and he doesn't think they are hot enough???? We decided recently when I'm making the poppers I'll chop some up and let him sample them to test for "heat' before I finish my batch .
