Beyond their decorative allure, these vivid adornments are welcoming symbols thought to bring good luck. This December, tweak that tradition by creating your own holiday-themed pepper ristra to replace the usual evergreen wreath. Your local grocery store probably has the necessary veggies, and after the festivities are over, the air-dried peppers can be pulled from the wreath to season winter-warming dishes. If your wreath is a gift, a nifty touch is to attach a favorite chili or salsa recipe. Laura J.
