Show Me Your Ristra.

Worth1 · April 1, 2015

Here is how I make a Ristra.
Take a length of cotton twine about 7 feet long and tie the ends together.
Take another length of cotton twine about 5 feet long and put a slip knot in on end.
Put three peppers in the loop of the slip knot and tighten it up.
Hand the first twine you tied together from a hook buy the loop.
Set the peppers in this loop and tie the twine with the peppers on it around the two strings in a hitch and tighten.
Repeat until you are through.
Note the loop- around the pepper stem in this picture isn't necessary it was a mistake but it really doesn't matter.
Make sure you grab both strings and snug up good before you move in the the next section of peppers.
