Dehydrator Creamed Corn

To rehydrate and cook dried corn: In a saucepan, combine 1/4 cup dried corn with 1 cup hot water. If the corn has been blanched, it will rehydrate in 5 to 10 minutes, unblanched corn will take about 30 minutes or longer. Bring the rehydrated corn to a boil and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, cover and let sit for 5 minutes. Drain. This will yield 3/4 cup cooked corn. This recipe adapted from "Mary Bell's Complete Dehydrator Cookbook". Prep time does NOT include dehydrator drying time.
