2 (7 1/2-ounce) packages John Cope's dried sweet corn (about 4 cups)

2 cups heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion (about 1/2 small onion)

Preparation Stir corn, milk, and cream in a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 4 hours or up to overnight. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat.

Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until creamed corn is thick, about 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Top with chives. Cooks' NoteJohn Cope's Dried Sweet Corn is available at Pennsylvania General Store and Amazon.
