It required 5 cups fresh, chopped with the seeds removed. Unbeknownst to me, the seeds in these peppers are extraordinary hot. Many hours later, my fingers are still on fire. Tried lemon juice, it did not work. Discovered in the last half an hour, one should rub vegetable oil on, then wash the affected area witn soap and water, as soon as possible. Another trick, place corn starch in a bowl with water and soak ones hands in this solution, it helps as well.
hope your fingers feel better soon - sounds like a time my mother was chopping peppers to freeze - she didn't realize either that they would burn her fingers
