Description
Ristras are the strings of dried chilis you can see hanging along fences, on patios and on doors all over New Mexico. In the Fall, you can buy ristras at farmer's markets and roadside stands. Ristras are sometimes used for decoration, and are said to bring good health and good luck. More often, they are hung up to dry for later cooking and eating. This ristra strand was hanging on a barn door at the Los Poblanos Ranch in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
