Like it or loathe it

A chapter headed "Getting tarragon right" Mr. Slater calls it a "......like it or loathe it herb...."
I love tarragon, but having grown mine from seed it is not quite ready to use yet so had to buy some from the supermarket. Very annoying as its never in the quantity you require , neither is it very fresh!!!!!
Two recipes for yesterday. The first was  Chicken tarragon mayonnaise.
Bit worried about tackling the mayonnaise as I have had varied success rates in the past. Well not difficult to make but my mayonnaise was very very thick! Still a very light tasty way to serve chicken - perfect for a summers day , if we ever get one!





The second recipe was Cherry almond crumble
Having broken my crumble dish and not yet replaced it I decided to make individual crumbles. The recipe made 6 , we ate two (scrummy) and I froze the rest for later. ( I hope they freeze successfully - froze them before cooking )
The cherries proved quite expensive £8 for 750 gms - still as a desert for 6 I guess that's OK.
Combination of cherry and almond is exquisite.
