When summer comes, grow an herb garden.  Dry the herbs in the dehydrator.
Better than store bought.  We use a lot of tarragon in our house.

Sorry, Warrior but I must have missed your original post.
I have a dehydrator and use it a lot during the summer, too. I dried tomatoes
chunks and they turned out quite well. They take up a lot less storage room
than jars of canned tomatoes. I've dried basil, mint, jalapeno peppers,
celery, onions and apple slices. We dried grapes when they were the cheapest
and made delicious raisins.  You can make fruit leathers with many different
pureed fruits. My favorite is yogurt leather made with flavored yogurt just
like the fruit leathers.
I have never grown tarragon but I'd like to try different herbs this year. I
use a lot of basil and dill and that is what I usually grow.
