NOTE:
As for the jalapeno & habanero peppers go if you want them milder use only 1, if you want them with more heat, add 2 of each pepper.
Remembering that the seeds and vein has the heat. And never rub your eyes until you have washed your hands…
Also the longer you let the onion, garlic and herbs marinate in the apple juice the better they will taste. I marinated them for 1 hour, on the counter.
