Ingredients
- 3 ears of corn shucked
- 1/2 teaspoon plus 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1-2 ripe peaches sliced and chopped into small pieces

Instructions
- Fill large pot about halfway with water and place over high heat. Add about a half teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil. Using tongs, drop your corn into the boiling water.
