Traditional Sandia Ristras

Give your house that uniquely New Mexican feel that only a Hatch Chile Ristra can offer! Our Ristras are hand-made year-round out of sun-dried Sandia (Hot) Hatch Chile. Ristras are said to confer good luck and good health on a household and can be used throughout the year to make your homemade red chile sauce as well! We ship both treated (inedible but preserves color and shine) and untreated (edible but be careful, they are HOT).

• We cannot ship this product to PO Boxes. Please use a physical address when checking out.
• Sandia Ristras come in 6 sizes ranging from 6 inches to 3 feet in length (these are approximate)
• All our Sandia Ristras are hand-tied in the lovely town of Hatch, New Mexico
• By default, we do not treat our ristras, but you can have us treat yours (to preserve its color) for a $5 charge
• In the traditional style, this ristra is topped with corn husks and has a string loop with which to hang it
• Ristras, Wreaths, and Crosses ship Tuesday through Friday.

We ship ristras until the quality of the previous year's dried chile is too poor to continue making them (typically in June) then we take pre-orders for the upcoming season. We are now harvesting green chile, but red won't be ready till Sept/Oct. Ristra pre-orders are expected to start shipping in late October.
