LeAnns Pickled Okra and Bloody Mary mix are local gourmet foods made in Georgia
LeAnn’s Gourmet Foods, a Georgia-based, woman-run company, offers a range of local, all natural, gluten free relishes, pickles, jellies, jams, butters, dips and mixes.

Simplicity, because who doesn’t like the simple things in life? That is certainly something  indicative of the South and is exactly what LeAnn’s Gourmet Foods, a company out of McDonough, GA, seems to incorporate in its delectable items. A simple family recipe made with simple ingredients is what jump-started this line of delicacies.

Two friends, Tracy North and Michelle Pyrtle, built their company in order to share an old family recipe with the rest of the world. From that one treasured recipe, others were inspired and created by Tracy and Michelle, using all natural and gluten-free ingredients.

Gluten free all natural apple butter made in Georgia
Our customer favorite- Apple Butter, pairs great with fruit and crackers. 

One such item is their Corn Relish. Made with corn, onions, and peppers, this relish will add a savory flavor to any burger or hotdog at your next cookout. But don’t think the possibilities end there. It can also give tacos, chili, beans and rice, along with sausage a creamy, flavorful taste.

LeAnn’s Gourmet Apple Butter, a favorite among our customers, is made with apples, apple cider vinegar, sugar, cinnamon, and other spices that blend together to make a delicious spread for your tried and true toast and crackers. However, if you are looking to add a new dimension to main dishes, LeAnn’s Gourmet Apple Butter is perfect for your White Oak Pastures’ pork loin and pork chops, but don’t stop there! A little creativity can lead to Apple Butter Bacon or Turkey Cheddar Apple Butter Panini using White Oak Pastures’ pastured hogs and poultry. For simpler dishes, pair it with breakfast biscuits, sweet potatoes, or an ice cream sundae dessert! LeAnn’s Pear Relish can be used alternately with these dishes as well.

LeAnns Corn Relish is gluten-free and all natural
Corn relish makes an amazing topping for dishes such as burgers, hotdogs, tacos & chili.

Lastly, but certainly not least, LeeAnn’s Pickled Okra and Vidalia Onion Honey Mustard fit right into the southern menu, but we’ll share with our friends! You can surely spice up a Bloody Mary or replace that olive in a Martini with LeeAnn’s Pickled Okra. If you prefer an entre’, chop the pickled okra and use it in tuna or chicken salad made with White Oak Pastures’ pastured chicken, or inside a grilled cheese sandwich. LeeAnn’s Vidalia Onion Honey Mustard makes an easy meal when cooked with chicken and potatoes in the same skillet. White Oak Pastures’ pork, bacon, or chicken breast are all favorites when paired with LeeAnn’s Vidalia Onion Honey, but don’t forget that it adds so much flavor to a dinner or side salad as well.
