Notes

To make the habanero less spicy: Simply slice your pepper, remove the seeds and pith (wear gloves, please!), place in a glass and cover with your favorite alcohol. Let sit for 45 minutes to an hour, then finely dice.

Habaneros are very spicy and can burn your skin. It's best to wear gloves so the oil doesn't come into contact with your skin. If it does, apply rubbing alcohol (or any hard liquor) and wash with a good grease cutting soap (such as Dawn) and warm water.
