True Southern flavor! OK, not that I've ever been to the south, but reading this book makes me want to visit. I love the setup of this story, how the heroine's secrets are in direct conflict with her current goals. Light-hearted, but with a strong spiritual thread, Leaving Carolina is a great book with which to satisfy the chick lit craving. The only problem with this book is that it's missing the actual recipe for pickled corn......
BLURB:
If Piper Wick’s own neck wasn’t at risk, she wouldn’t fly home to Pickwick to help her estranged family. But if Uncle Obadiah changes his will to make amends for all the family’s misdeeds, everyone’s secrets will come out, including her own. She is about to let ancient history jeopardize her thriving public relations career and her tenuous romance with U.S. Congressman Grant Spangler.
Piper arrives in Pickwick primed for battle against Uncle Obe’s meddling godson and her snooty cousins. To her surprise, there is more to her hometown, and some of her own family, than she remembered. Uncle Obe’s rugged blue-eyed gardener, Axel Smith, a solder wounded in Iraq, challenges her ideas about love and forgiveness.

You want a recipe for pickled corn? Would it be similar to pickled beats?
P.S. Whoever sends viruses is a TURD!!!! Sorry, but that's the nicest word I can come up with now.
I wonder if it's the same. Hmm. I could give it a try! Throughout the book the heroine kept trying to eat the pickled corn, and once she finally got some....well, my mouth was watering.
I totally agree on the turd part! HAHA!!! You are so right. If only they'd use their powers for good...
Okay, you've got me...I've never heard of pickled corn. Can't say it sounds good, though. But then again, lots of things that sound yucky actually taste great. Pickled corn...hum...
here is a receipe I found on line but have never tried pickled corn, to each his own, lol
PICKLED CORN
1 1/2 c. coarse salt
1 c. vinegar, 5%
2 qts. water
Bring to rolling boil.
Boil corn that is really full approximately 8 minutes. Cool corn and cut off the cob whole kernel. Pour liquid in the bottom of a churn first then pour cut off corn. Let the liquid cover over the top. Weight down, cover and let set for 12 to 15 days. Place in jars and process 10 minutes at 5 pounds pressure. Put corn in pillow slip to pickle.
