French tarragon plants should be purchased instead of seeds. In warmer areas, to propagate Tarragon, you can divide the roots in March or April. Plant small root clumps about 12 inches apart.
In the Kitchen: Fresh tarragon has very intense flavor. You don't need to use as much fresh as you would dried. My favorite ways to use tarragon is with chicken. To keep the most flavor of fresh tarragon when storing is to freeze whole sprigs in airtight baggies for up to 6 months.
Tarragon is a main ingredient in Bérnaise Sauce and the French herb mixture, fines herbes.
Fine Herbes is a classic French herb seasoning mix and is easy to make at home. Use equal parts chopped: - tarragon
- chervil
- chives
- parsley
