Guajillo also makes a fine ristra! They are just the right amount of heat in my book...enough to make it interesting but not hot enough to run for the fire extinguisher! And I agree, very good when red, fruity. It is a pepper that gets overlooked sometimes. Everyone is into growing the Super Hots, which I have no interest in at all...why grow them if you cannot eat them and have to wear a hazmat suit just to pick them?
There are so many great middle-of-the-road peppers heat-wise that I personally cannot see the point in growing the 911's of the pepper world. But, maybe some people can actually eat them and enjoy them, I don't know...
