Distributing heat in a dish

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this. But I am experimenting with making up a recipe for my habanero salsa. But one challenge I'm having is distributing the heat evenly throughout the salsa.

Letting the salsa sit in a vinegar/brine mixture for a lengthy period of time helps a lot. It distributes heat throughout the salsa. But not enough. You end up with individual bites that have a bit of pepper in them being much, much, much hotter. I don't want to let it sit for more than about 24 hours though because it will lose freshness.

My most successful method is slow cooking over a long period of time. But I don't want to do that because of what the heat does to the consistency of the salsa. I really want a cold temperature way of distributing the heat.

Any suggestions?
