Cope’s corn comes with a couple of recipes on its own. They changed the process a few years back so the product is decidedly more yellow than it once was - a distinctive brownish yellow before, offputting to some perhaps but that was what it was, and those of us who knew it then had no issues. Bright corny yellow now, but I encourage the unfamiliar to engage. It’s good stuff.
This is great! I often dehydrate sweet corn in late summer and grind it to use in the breading for fish, chicken, etc. Now I have another great use for it.
This is indeed a delicious, uniquely Lancaster County staple. I grew up in Amish country with this dish at every holiday gathering. Please note, the packages are drastically smaller this year! I needed 3 packages to get a bit over 4 cups of dried corn. This recipe on the back of the package is similar to this sans the heavy cream.
Cope’s corn is delicious and a staple for Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Day in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, I’m happy to see it’s being enjoyed in other parts of the country as well. It’s genuine Pennsylvania Dutch food and is only made by John Cope’s right here in Lancaster County.
