Step aside, cornbread. In Pennsylvania Dutch country, dried sweet corn is an essential part of the Thanksgiving table. Soak it in milk and cream for at least 4 hours (or up to overnight), then simmer it with a bit of sautéed onion for a luscious side dish that's as sweet as summer corn—and even more irresistible.
John Cope's Dried Sweet Corn is available at Pennsylvania General Store and Amazon.

Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until creamed corn is thick, about 30 minutes.
