Ok this is a long shot but I had some baked beans from a BBQ joint that tasted like jalapeños but with no heat. Does anyone know how to do this? I love the flavor of jalapeños but my family can't do the heat.
 
Most of the heat is in the seeds and the membrane. Just remove the seeds and the white membrane on the inside.

I have tried that still to hot for my wife and kids but the baked beans a that BBQ joint has 0 heat and they love them.
 
It would help to start out with mild Japs. I've been told that the lighter shade of green the Jap is the milder it is. I've not confirmed that statement. Maybe someone here can. Cheers!!!
 
Seed and devein the jalepenos and then roast them down. I find that removes most of the heat in the hotter peppers. I haven't found a jalepeno hot enough that I would need to soak in milk to remove even more heat.
 
I've done the sprite method that BBQ Grail recomends.

You end up with mild jalapenos and hot sprite.

Just buy the Peno's at Wally World. They have no heat in my experience. Then remove seeds and membrane.
 
A friend of mine made ABT's with habaneros that he soaked in milk. They weren't even close to too spicy so I can vouch for that method working.
 
Yep, milk works really well. Although one thing is all of my kids told me the peppers were too mild with ABT's, removing the veins and seeds was all it took for them to be happy.

Another thing that you might enjoy if you like the heat is to take the seeds and veins and soak them in some oil, and make yourself some jalapeno oil. My wife LOVES it when I use that stuff to cook with.

Sounds great what kind of oil do you use and how long do leave the seed in the oil for.
 
If you can garden try growing TAM mild jalapeno's.I always grow these.Look, taste and smell like japs but absolutely no heat at all.

Whatever kind of oil you wish, in my experience. I've done it to EVOO, Olive Oil, and Canola Oil. All came back with great results. Used the canola oil for frying, and it put that flavor into the food. French fries and chicken if I remember right.

It's also just for about however long you wish in the end, longer they stay in, the more the oil draws the heat out, and the hotter the oil gets. Think I left them in for a day, maybe two? The stuff was HOT. I believe the standard way for quick prepping this is to simply take however many peppers you want, canoe them, salt them, add some lemon, let them sit for about half an hour or so, then just blend the peppers and the oil together and strain the pulp out.
 
Jalapenos are grown and graded for heat, most restaurants use mild jalapenos. There was a thread here awhile back about this. Try doing a search but if you find a restaurant that uses the mild ones ask if you can order some or buy some.

I have not tried the milk or oil and will give that a try because as much as I like the heat there are times I just want the taste and my wife would love to have it that way. I have gutted them but they still have a lot of heat to me.

If you are able to grow your own,there is a mild variety named TAM.That is a very mild pepper.It was developed at TexasA&M,hence the name TAM.The other options mentioned will work fine if you must use store bought.

I grow my own jalepeños, and they fluctuate between scorching hot, and really mild. It all has to do with the weather -- I think.

I always remove seeds from all my peppers, because seeds are often bitter. If I want milder heat, I remove all the membranes.

The top of the jalepeño pepper, where the stem is, will be hotter than the other end, but cutting the pepper in half isn't a guaranteed mild pepper.

If you pickle your peppers, that can mellow the heat.

But, the best thing you can do is portion control. More peppers, more heat. Fewer peppers, less heat. You have to taste. Bite off a little, give it a quick chew, and spit it out. Then, you know how much to use.
