New England clam chowder

 

2 Dozen Large Chowder Clams or 3 cans (10 ½ ounces each) minced clams

½ pound lean salt pork diced (I just used bacon I cut with scissors)

3 cups diced raw peeled potatoes (I Kalamith white potatoes soft skin…No peeling)

1 teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon white pepper

2 Cups light cream

2 Cups milk

2 Tablespoons butter

Steam open chowder clams. Strain and reserve the liquid; coarsely grind or chop clams. If canned clams are used, strain and reserve liquid. Measure clam liquid, fresh or canned. Add water if amount is less than 4 cups. Fry pork in large kettle until golden. Remove pork and reserve. Drain off all but 1/4 cup fat. Add potato, salt pepper and clam liquid. Simmer until potatoes are tender. Add clams, cream, milk and butter. Reheat but do not boil. Tope with crisp pork and sprinkle with paprika. Makes about 3 quarts.
