This pickled corn was a huge hit at our annual Dinner in the Peach Orchard with Chef John Ash. After a tour of the orchard and peach tasting with owner Gayle Sullivan, guests whet their appetites with pickled summer veggies, watermelon and peaches with chili salt, sauteed padron peppers and other delicious goodies from the garden before enjoying their peach-inspired dinner.
