This Tarragon and Lemon Butter is beautifully light and fragrant. It adds a wonderful hint of anise to your meal.

Fresh tarragon isn’t always easy to find so I use dried tarragon that I soak in a little lemon juice. If you can get fresh tarragon then skip the soaking step and add two tablespoons of the leaves to the processor instead of the dried leaves.

This Tarragon and Lemon Butter is beautifully light and fragrant. It adds a wonderful hint of anise to your meal.

This butter is perfect with a steak, but also totally delicious used as a topping for eggs! Some brioche toast, a softly poached egg and a pat of tarragon and lemon butter. YUM!!!!

This Tarragon and Lemon Butter is beautifully light and fragrant. It adds a wonderful hint of anise to your meal.

      Hi Tracy, they will last a week in the fridge or they freeze really well also.
      Hope that helps 🙂

      Hope you enjoyed it.

      If you want another butter to try I recommend the moroccan spiced butter. I think that might be my favourite 🙂
