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.
  • Gift wrapping is not available for this item...please do not select the gift wrap option during checkout
  • Unless otherwise indicated, all ristra orders ship within one business day from our Taos, NM store
  • Not available for Expedited (air) shipping, including overseas and FPO/APO. Select only "Standard (Ground)" shipping during checkout or you will be billed for Expedited but it will still ship by Standard.
  • If you don't like it, don't keep it: We offer one of the best return policies in the business
