If you\u2019ve been intimidated by how to make tarragon vinegar, it\u2019s actually very easy. Just two ingredients are needed: tarragon and white wine vinegar. The only hitch is waiting two to three weeks after combining these ingredients for this tarragon vinegar recipe to be ready to use.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Flavored vinegar recipes are simple to whip up and wonderful to have on hand to make many recipes, such as salads, marinades (for meat or seafoods) and shrubs (cocktails or non-alcoholic drinks), and to use in place of red or white wine in a recipe. Consider it your BFF for amping up a recipe\u2019s flavor. We like this tarragon one so much that we included it in our list of flavored vinegar recipes you\u2019ll want to make<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Tarragon is a healthy herb in that it aids with digestion and helps reduce inflammation. Because it tastes sweet and<\/i> savory, it is ideal to use in a flavored vinegar. Each serving of this recipe is only 5 calories and there\u2019s zero fat, cholesterol or sodium.<\/p>\n Wash the tarragon and pat it dry. Place the tarragon in a sterilized jar. Using a wooden spoon, gently bruise the tarragon. Next, add the vinegar. Cover and store the mixture in a cool dark place for two to three weeks to let the flavors develop.<\/p>\n Strain and discard the tarragon. Pour the liquid into a sterilized decorative bottle and add additional tarragon if desired. Store the vinegar in a cool dark place for up to six months.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em>\u00a0While you can use any jar, an empty wine bottle works best as the height can accommodate tarragon sprigs.<\/p>\n As the recipe states, before you even use this, you\u2019ve already stored it for two to three weeks. It keeps for up to six months.<\/p>\n We don\u2019t recommend freezing the recipe. The nice thing is that once you make this, it\u2019s good for up to six months at room temperature.<\/p>\n As long as you keep this in an airtight jar, it will last for six months.<\/p>\n Absolutely! In fact, you have to make it ahead of time because the tarragon and vinegar need time together (two to three weeks) in the jar before it\u2019s ready.<\/p>\n A vinaigrette is perfect on salad greens. To transition the tarragon vinegar into a tarragon vinaigrette, simply add olive oil. The standard formula is 1 tablespoon of vinegar for every 3 tablespoons of olive oil. With this recipe, that means you\u2019d add 6 cups olive oil to the 2 cups white wine vinegar.<\/p>\n Tarragon vinegar is an ingredient in our tarragon potatoes recipe<\/a>, where chopped onion and minced garlic are also added to red potatoes. It’s also featured in our easy gazpacho recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n Red wine vinegar tastes heavier and stronger than white wine vinegar. Because tarragon vinegar is designed to complement your recipe\u2014not overpower it\u2014go with white wine vinegar.<\/p>\n Add fresh tarragon sprigs to basic white wine vinegar in a decorative jar, and you’ll have a lovely, contemporary gift for any cook. Include salad dressing recipes or others that could use this flavorful vinegar. \u2014Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam,
