- Place the dried corn in a large bowl, cover with six cups water and set aside to soak overnight.
- Early the next day, or at least four hours before serving, drain the corn, place it in a three- to four-quart saucepan and add six cups water. Bring to a simmer and stir in the dried chilies or chili powder, oregano and cinnamon. Simmer uncovered about two and a half hours, until the corn is fairly tender. If necessary, add more water during cooking. At end of cooking period, the mixture should be quite moist but not soupy.

- Reheat it to serve as a side dish or use it to make a casserole. Refrigerate any unused cooked hominy and use within a day or freeze it for future use. Yield: 8 to 12 servings
