I mostly use Tarragon in Soups, etc. on occasion, and in a Chicken dish or two.
What do you use it for????

licia,Do you use fresh or dried? The only tarragon I've seen in plants this year is the mexican variety. I may have to get some seeds.

I make tarragon vinegar, and then use it in Bearnaise.
Wish I could share some of mine with you UB..I planted it about a month ago and it took off and is beautiful..I took some of it yesterday, along with some of my fresh parsley,thyme,garlic chopped it fine mixed it into butter and put it under and onto the skin of two chickens..Oh my goodness why did I avoid tarragonfor years? It is wonderful. Sorry I hijacked your question, but if I could find fresh someplace I'd use it instead of dry.Does anyone think Dried Tarragon would work? Albeit maybe not with the same results...

You could try it, but do be sure to crush & smell your dried Tarragon first. Like I said before, regardless of what source I've purchased it from & how I store it, dried Tarragon turns into nothing but dried grass/hay in a heartbeat for me. I never bother with it anymore, especially since I can grow it during the spring/summer/fall & buy it fresh in supermarkets the rest of the year.
