Candied Dried Corn

Full credit for this recipe goes to my Grandma!  So I hope she gets to see this.  This corn is something that we grew up having when we'd visit her in Pennsylvania.  My mom has now adapted the recipe and added it to our Thanksgiving Feast.

It does take a little preparation because you'll have to gather the corn during the earlier fall months when it's in season, but I guarantee it will be an impressive addition and substitute to the traditional plain corn that everybody is serving.  Because of it's sweet ingredients, I consider this the corn equivalent to candied sweet potatoes.
