Mmm, good! Oakies version of clam chowder. Don't forget the saltines! Add one more jar of clam juice, for those of you who like it clammy -- I know that's how my hubby likes it. Enjoy! Ingredients:
6 slices bacon, diced |
2 stalks celery, diced |
1 onion, diced |
1/4 cup butter |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
3 (8 ounce) jars clam juice |
1 quart half-and-half cream |
4 cups minced clams |
ground white pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook bacon, celery and onion until onion is translucent. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour to form a roux, cooking until bubbly. Whisk in 1 jar of clam juice, until smooth. Stir in onion mixture. Pour in half-and-half, stirring constantly. Stir in clams, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.
3. Season with pepper and serve.
