Heads,

I just put together a basic ristra using red jalapenos and one very large
red Anaheim.  It's hanging in my kitchen but I'm worried that the peppers
will get moldy instead of drying.  I also have one green jalapeno stuck with
the red peppers.

Had to pick the last of the crop this weekend, as weather is getting chilly
(chile?) in the evenings.

What is the best way to dry, or where should I hang, this ristra so that it
will keep the intense red coloring and how do I keep it from molding?

The dehydrator is full of the other, less pretty peppers.  Enough to last
till spring, at least.
