Tarragon, French
$8.00 – $21.60
Introduced to England by the Tudor family in the 16th century, and dubbed by the French as the King of Herbs, Tarragon made its way to America with the colonists. It is a predominant flavor in classic French cuisine.
Add to sauces, salads, vinegar, dressings, poultry, and fish. Avoid overcooking. Sprinkle on broiled chicken at the end of cooking and use in pan gravy. Pairs well with cheeses, vegetables, and eggs. French tarragon has a sweet, licorice flavor. [Tarragon]

Brining Kit ~ DIY
$14.00Brining is a simple process for lean meats, like poultry, pork and shrimp, to make them juicier and more flavorful.
Brining involves two processes: (1) salt dissolves proteins in the meat, allowing the fibers to relax and soften, and (2) muscle fibers absorb liquid (mostly water), plumping and softening the meat. Make sure that your meat has not been brined before you buy it (e.g. “extra tender” pork and most turkey breast roasts are pre-brined with salt or sodium phosphate).
The spices in this kit are intended to make 2 gallons of brining solution, enough for a 12-14 pound turkey or two whole chickens. A very large turkey may need up to three gallons; additional brining spices can be purchased at Local Spicery.
What You Need: This kit includes a large pouch of sea salt, a pouch of brining spices, a brining bag large enough for a 24-lb turkey, and a zip-tie closure for the bag. You will need a large stock pot (at least 8-quart) and a way to chill your meat for up to 24 hours — a 5-gallon bucket to put in your refrigerator or a large ice chest with ice to pack around the meat.
The DIY Brining Kits come in two flavor profiles:
Traditional: Brightens your meat with the flavors of Sweet Bay, Juniper Berries, and Mustard, Coriander and Fennel Seeds for a traditional Thanksgiving flavor;
Chetumal: Delivers a spicy, Yucatecan flavor through Paprika, Chiles, and Mexican Oregano.

Perfect for dishes with few competing flavors, such as custards, puddings, baked fruits and whipped cream, or simply sprinkled on oatmeal, yogurt or toast. Use also in sauces and curries, and add to lamb and vegetable dishes.
