COPYCAT SKIPPERS CLAM CHOWDER

Steps:

• NOTE: Prepare ingredients before starting! Experienced, or quick, cooks can ignore this advice. I'm neither experienced nor quick. If I don't prepare the ingredients before starting the chowder, it's a disaster.
• Bring the bottled clam juice and potatoes to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender (about ten minutes). Remove from heat.
• Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until bacon begins to brown (about 8-10 minutes). Add onions, celery, garlic, and bay leaf. Sautà until vegetables soften, about six minutes.
• Stir in flour and cook two minutes. Do not allow flour to brown.
• Gradually whisk in reserved juices from clams. Add potato mixture, calms, half-and-half, hickory smoke salt, and hot pepper sauce. Simmer chowder to blend flavors, stirring frequently.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Chowder can be served after as few as ten minutes of simmering, or it can sit on the stove contentedly for hours.
