Chile Ristras of New Mexico Ristras are the strings of chile you see hanging along fences, on patios and on portals 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. - National Park Service •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. #ChiliRistras #Ristras #NewMexican #LivingHistoryMuseum #ElRanchoDeLasGolondrinas #NewMexico #AmericanSouthwest #PhotoByJeriRae (at El Rancho de las Golondrinas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCc5UT-lgfU/?igshid=1az49y1kirj8r
