So, yes, 3/4 c vinegar in the syrup, and 3/4 c milk in the dough.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11068348526232036423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5446802283239662385.post-58966156025532924092014-07-24T10:55:20.266-04:002014-07-24T10:55:20.266-04:00Rachel, love the story about the little thimbleful...Rachel, love the story about the little thimbleful for digestion--you've made my case. The TARE-gun viengar can be a little sharp if it gets too old. Best used soon after it's made. Tarragon can truly overpower,but it is good when used in moderation. <br /><br />We are cobbler cousins, I just know it.

Despite the lovely bottles of Balsamic this and Champagne that in the cupboards with the spices and herbs and oils, there's always a gallon of it at foot-bumping height in the store-room. <br /><br />I keep it because my Mammaw did, using it for special pickles and splashing onto the three o'clock-picked cucumbers-for-supper, or into a vinegar pie. A friend who dines with us occasionally asks for a "little thimble" before dinner every time, for his digestion, and sips it daintily from the slenderest small liqueur glass.<br /><br />Mammaw was also a grand proponent of Tarragon Vinegar---"TARE-gun." which I don't see often any more. I cannot recall any flavor to it but sharp, but have made my own, in the sunshine of the upstairs kitchen windows, with basil and pepper and garlic and lavender and sage all in a row of shining bottles.<br /><br />I'm always charmed by your usages of things, and the dishes of your own raising which are as easy to hand and mind as cornbread and cobbler to mine.<br /><br />rachel<br />RachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.com
