Are there any recipes for old dried sweet corn?
I have about 3 ears of sweet corn in my fridge that I forgot about for several weeks. The kernels are pretty shrivelled-up now. Is there anything I can make with dried-out sweet corn?
I checked and they’re definitely not mouldy, just dry. I don’t want to throw them out or feed them to animals. Apparently Americans waste something like 30% of fresh produce purchased and I’m trying to cut down on my wastage.

Creamed Corn
4 cups (1 lb.) dried corn
4 cups milk
3 cups heavy cream
3 tsp. sugar
3 tsp. salt
4 tbsp. butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1. Place dried corn in a large bowl and cover with milk and heavy cream. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
2. Transfer corn mixture to a large saucepan. Add sugar, salt, and butter. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and serve.

If you forgot about them for several weeks, they probably aren’t so good anymore. I’d throw them away.

Yes, you can make a small stand with a nail sticking up place the corn on the nail and nail to a tree. Makes for good Bird and Squirrel food.

May have spoilage as well as drying. You should throw them out.
