Notes
For a stronger tarragon flavor, increase the amount of tarragon slightly. These bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They pair well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the sugar in the blueberry layer slightly.
