I also like frsh Jalapenos, but I just use a few.  I like to get the flavor without too much heat.  Fresh Jalapenos are not really that hot when you are adding a few to a big pot of chili.  I used to grow and can my own jalapenos.  when I would open a jar I would dump them in a food processor and turn them into paste.  that way I could easily control how much to add.

But my favorite use of jalapenos is on cheese nachos.  And I like the slices for that.

In my chili, I like to cut the end off the Jalapenos and one hobanero and put them whole into the chili from the beginning.  I usually cook my chili over night, so the next day I just remove the peppers and I get all the heat and flavor without the pepper being there.  For 1 gallon of chili 2 jalapenos and 1 hobanero give a nice medium heat.
