Time 1h5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs potatoes, diced
64 ounces clam juice
4 lbs freshly cooked clams or 4 lbs frozen clams, diced
4 ounces salt pork
2 small onions, diced
8 ounces butter
2 ounces flour
32 ounces half-and-half, scalded
salt
pepper
hot pepper sauce
Worcestershire sauce
oyster crackers, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring potatoes and clam juice to a boil. Cook until potatoes are done. Add the clams, along with any surplus juice. Cook until tender, careful not to overcook and toughen the clams. Set aside.
  • Skin the salt pork, dice it, and saute in a pan. Cook until rendered. Add onions and saute until translucent. Add butter, melt, and cook slightly. Add flour. If mixture is too loose, add a little more flour. Cook until slightly colored.
  • Bring clams, juice and potatoes back to boil. Add cooked flour and salt pork mixture. Sauce will thicken, so stir often. Bring to a rolling boil. Add previously heated half-and-half to desired consistency. Season, to taste, with salt, pepper, hot pepper sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Serve with Oyster crackers.
