Steps:
- Put the cherries and tarragon in a glass jar. Put the vinegars, sugar, peppercorns, and ½ cup water in a small saucepan over high heat. Bring the mixture just to a boil so that the sugar dissolves, then turn off the heat, and let it cool slightly. Pour it over the cherries (it's fine if they're not completely submerged), and cool completely before capping and refrigerating. The cherries will be ready in a week and will last for a month.
- Drain the cherries (reserving the liquid), and slice them in half. Whisk together the olive oil, 2 tablespoons of the cherry liquid, salt and pepper in a small bowl; drizzle it over the frisée. Scatter the cherries, Brie and pistachios over the frisée, and serve.
