Title: Tarragon vinegar
Post by: valmarg on May 25, 2010, 21:57:16
This product seems to have disappeared from the supermarket, deli, specialist grocers etc shelves.

I have been trying to find it for about a year for an old Robert Carrier recipe for vinaigrette dressing that I have been using for years for salade Nicoise.  I know I am probably being a pedant, but tarragon vinegar does work with it.  Having used it and 'like the taste' I am getting desperate to find some.

To such a desperate end, I have bought a large bunch of French tarragon, and managed to root quite a lot of it, with a view to producing my own.

Any recipes please. ;D

Simple get a bottle of white wine vinegar, bash the tarragon with a rolling pin to bruise it slightly then shove the tarragon into the bottle and leav to infuse. Tarragon can be left in the bottle or removed as desired.

I agree, nice and simple to make.

I made some with red wine vinegar last year and very tasty it is too ;D makes a super vinegrette or just simply drizzled on.

Red or white wine vinegar, you could use cider vinegar
Bunch of fresh tarragon
Infuse for 3-4 weeks strain and use, yum.

Thanks very much, I thought it might be a complicated process of boiling up, straining etc, etc.

I've never bought any red wine tarragon vinegar, but here goes.

Again thank you,

love
