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.

Cooks' Note

John Cope's Dried Sweet Corn is available at Pennsylvania General Store and Amazon.
