14-inch Treated Heart-Shaped Ristra  
The New Mexico way to say "I Love You!"
The perfect Valentine's Day gift - made in New Mexico
New Mexicans have hung roja chile pimiento ristras
(Spanish for "red chili pepper strings") for centuries. As you drive around our
state, you see ristras hanging practically everywhere...they're one of the
most common symbols of the "Land of Enchantment."
- At MadeInNewMexico, our heart-shaped chile
ristras are hand-tied from the small "piquin" chiles grown for centuries in the
Mesilla Valley region of southern New Mexico...home of the famous Hatch
chiles.
- Each ristra is topped with a corn
husk for decoration
- Ristras measure approximately 14 inches (35.6
cm) in diameter; peppers are 1-2 inches (2.5 - 5.1 cm) long each
- Designed to be hung
indoors or out.
- The peppers have been treated by the
farmer by spraying red-tinted lacquer on the chiles. They are not
edible, but they will maintain their shape and color considerably
longer than fresh chiles...up to 5 years outdoors in dry climates, 2 years
in humid climates.
- Unlike fresh chile ristras, our
treated ristras will not drip dangerous chile juice, attract fruit flies,
or become moldy.
- Shipping weight: 4 lbs. (1.8 Kg)
|
Remember:
- Ristras are hand-tied from
various-sized chiles; the ristra you receive may therefore vary slightly
from the photos
- The ristra is very delicate: it
is natural for it to lose a few chiles during shipment. Be very careful
when handling.
-
