Never Too Much Tarragon!

A pile of tarragon for use in jelly and vinegar
Spent the afternoon making three recipes of white grape tarragon jelly.  I think it turned out well.  I will share the recipe if I like the end result.  I saw the combination in the Emelie Tolley and Chris Mead book, The Herbal Pantry.  I made up the recipe.  The photo of the book is below.  I did have a bunch of tarragon left and just put it in a sterilized quart jar and filled the jar with white wine vinegar.  Will check it in about two weeks or so.  I learned from Jim Long's Making Herb Vinegars booklet this past weekend that it is better to put vinegar in a cupboard and not on a windowsill in the sun.  Hope you have had a great day wherever you may be!  Talk to you later!

  5. It's a good one Missy. Hope you like it!

    Thanks Pat for the kind words. I promise I will share the recipe with you after I try it. I don't like to give it out until I'm satisfied with it. Have a safe trip home! Nancy

  7. That sounds delicious! I love tarragon and never seem to use it as much as I'd like.

    I did try my hand at some basil jelly and hot pepper jelly last week. I'm getting more adventurous.
