[ NOTE ]

¹ I've found that you can easily speed up the process by adding the raw cashews to a pot with water and placing over high heat. Bring water to a boil, then immediately turn off the heat. Let the cashews sit for 30 to 45 minutes in the warm water, then drain.

² If you're making this for kids, take out the seeds of the jalapeno or leave out the jalapeno completely.
