Who’s Pickling Peppers in Wilmington?

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers is the title of a famous nursery rhyme. Angela Cannon’s new retail shop in Wilmington has a similar name. “Angela’s Pickled Pepper Foods”. “Everything we do has a pepper in it. You can have a mild pepper, getting hot, and hot pepper, we call it mild, getting hotter, hot. You want cucumbers, you can get mild, getting hot, hot cucumbers. You want okra, it’s mild, getting hot and hot okra.

Angela produces collards, gumbo, and the list goes on. Even though Angela is new to the retail side of business, she’s been processing at her current location on Carolina Beach Road for four years. “We’ve personally developed all of these recipes, and we don’t use any preservatives, we don’t use sugar either.”
