What is the best use for the herb tarragon?

In: Herb Gardening [Edit categories]

Tarragon makes an excellent ingredient for infusing through vinegar. Just fill ajar with the bruised leaves, and pour warmed cider or wine vinegar over them. Seal and leave for two weeks, shaking daily. Then strain off the vinegar and bottle.
You can use it in a variety of dishes, although in sparing quantities as the flavor is quite strong. Also, cooking it for a long time can make it taste peculiar. Try it mixed in dressings and sauces, or in a herb butter. Rub it over uncooked chicken, fish or 'gamey' meats.
