Hi all,

At the weekend Dhilehead hot luck I made a Chile Trifle
for pudding with lemon drop Chiles which was great. 

Chain of events:
I put the chiles in boiling water for 2 hours.
Used water to make the jelly.
Tasted the jelly liquid - to taste how hot it was.
 - quite hot
Added the jelly to the trifle base
 - made up from cake saturated in Sherry with fresh   
mandarin oranges on top.
Added custard
Added Cream

When I tasted the trifle the jelly part was not hot at
all but the chile taste was concentrated in the oranges.

My question is this:
Was this a chemical reaction as to why the concentrated
heat of the chiles shifted from the liquid jelly to the
fruit?

I know nothing about Chemistry/Physics so that is why I
ask.

Just curious.
