Tips about Tarragon

How to make tarragon vinegar Ingredients:

1 pt. cider vinegar
1 pt. white vinegar
3 tbsp. dry tarragon

(Yields 1 qt)

Instructions:

In a clean glass jar place the dried tarragon. Bring vinegar to a light boil and pour into the jar (over the tarragon). Let it cool (do not cap)

If the jar has a metal lid place plastic wrap over jar before putting on lid so the vinegar does not come into contact with any metal. Place in a dry, dark area. After 2 weeks strain the tarragon vinegar through cheesecloth and pour into new a clean jar or glass bottle. You can add a stem or two of fresh tarragon to the vinegar for a garnish.
