Chilean recipe: Don't cook the corn yet. Chop an onion fine (use a blender), rinse with water, fry it until golden. Strip the kernels off the cobs and mush 'em up. To the cooked onion, add the mushed corn, some salt, cumin, basil. Cook it all down until it starts to clarify (that would be the corn starch cooking). You can put it up in canning jars or just EAT! Chileans eat it with sugar, but I like it a little saltier. They call this Humitas en Olla. Check Wikipedia for info on Humitas.
Thank you so much. I am American but live in France and they do not eat corn here, especially not hot, and I remember my late uncle made great homemade creamed corn which looked ugly but tasted wonderful, and no way can I get that here. My Nana in Ohio cut the corn off cobs and fried it and the taste was wonderful. Had to quit eating corn in the USA, the GMO stuff gave me asthma. Uprated and thanks again.
Great thank you, but where do you get the extra trivets for your canner? I have been wanting to do two layers but don't have an extra metal trivet. Thank you Sheryl

@histerp - mine came with 2 trivets, so dunno. You can probably just use a round wire baking rack between layers though
