I cut back my tarragon plant to 4 inches. That's it for the season and hopefully it will come back again next year.
I washed then dried the stems with leaves on paper towels. Then I stripped the leaves off the stems and lay them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. I preheated the oven to 350F, put the leaves into the oven. I turned the heat off and let it rest 2 hours. The leaves were perfectly dried out so I crumpled them and stored in a jar. What a success!

To yum meals soon!
Great, successful again!
A good idea. I have no experience with this method of drying tarragon. But it seems to work. What a wonderful aroma it must be!
Well done! I love the smell of tarragon.
Such great work! I'm glad it paid off.
That sounds like a success. I have some oregano to dry and I am going to dry it with your method rather than just letting it slowly air dry. Thanks for sharing.
Happy to hear that your drying technique was a success, Christine!
That's super :-D
That's too much effort for me though. My brother actually got into freeze drying several different things and Skittles candy actually pretty darn good in it
Good for you.
Oh I bet it smells good in your house.
Wonderful, thank for this Christine, and for letting me know you had posted another on drying tarragon.
Genial , te mando un beso.
Well done ... a very good success.
All the best Jan
You are so smart to do this; you'll be set all winter.
Awesome! I only use tarragon in November when I'm doing turkey. :-)
look great
Such a treat to have later in the year.
