Keep tarragon in freezer up to 6 months. To use, remove tarragon from freezer. Chop as desired for use in soups, sauces, and stuffings. Freezing Tarragon. Rating: 2. Cooking with herbs makes legitimately makes a massive difference to the flavour of your food. The downside to that being a variety of plastic packets languishing at the back of your fridge, turning into a sort of wet brown mulch.
Combine the waste of food, plastic and money and blandness starts to become more appealing. But, if we were going to allow ourselves to use that word, it would be accurate.
Freezing Tarragon into cubes is a great idea. You can think of them like you would think of seasoning cubes. It is wonderful for long-cooking dishes. It is also great for pasta, chicken, and soups.

Put the jars back in the freezer, then take out the frozen herbs as you need them. Share This:. We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.
