I too love tarragon and this one sounds fabulous. Will be making soon. Thanks for the post.


This looks good. I have way too much tarragon in my spice rack right now. Thanks.


That's funny because I never seem to have enough tarragon in my cabinet. I use it a lot. I can't seem to grow it in the Florida heat, it just shrivels and dies. Now, can you explain why there are three bottles of rubbed sage? What was I thinking? Along with six boxes of green tea bags? Must be an age thing. LOL
