In an English spelling bee, you would say j-a-l-a-p-e-n-o because the tilde N (ñ) has no name in English and is considered punctuation of the loanword.

In Spanish, the ñ has a separate name (enye, pronounced ayn-yay), but of course all the other letters are pronounced differently as well.

La palabra jalapeño se escribe (hablado) "jota-ah-ele-ah-peh-eh-enye-oh."

(hoh-tah, ah, ay-lay, ah, pay, ay, ayn-yay, oh)

You do not have to cook them, they can be eaten raw. If they are to be prepared for a cooked dish, half them and remove the seeds and the white ribs. * Chop and saute with the onion or garlic or throw them into a stew or chili.

*be careful not to get on your hands. The capsicum does not wash off easier and will burn your eyes if you touch them. OUCH!

The correct spelling is "jalapeno" from the Spanish spelling "jalapeño" (a hot pepper).
