CONTEST-WINNING NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER
This is the best New England clam chowder recipe, ever! In the Pacific Northwest, we dig our own razor clams and I grind them for the chowder. Since these aren't readily available, the canned clams are perfectly acceptable. -Sandy Larson, Port Angeles, Washington

Steps:
- Heat a 4- to 6-quart heavy-bottomed pot over low heat, and add bacon. Once it has rendered a few tablespoons of fat, increase the heat to medium, and cook until bacon is crisp and golden brown. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat, leaving bacon in the pot.
- Add olive oil and garlic, and cook for 30 seconds. Add onion, celery, bell pepper, carrots, bay leaves, oregano, and crushed red pepper. Saute, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until vegetables are softened but not browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Add potatoes and clam broth. The broth should just barely cover the potatoes; if it doesn't, add enough water to cover. Increase the heat, bring to a boil, cover, and cook potatoes vigorously until they are soft on the outside but still firm in the center, about 10 minutes. If the broth hasn't thickened lightly, smash a few potatoes against the side of the pot, and cook 1 to 2 minutes more to release the starch.
- Add tomatoes, and simmer 5 minutes more. Remove pot from the heat, stir in diced clams and parsley, and season with black pepper. If you are not serving the chowder within the hour, let it cool a bit, then refrigerate; cover after it has chilled completely. Otherwise, let it sit at room temperature for up to 1 hour, allowing the flavor to meld.
- When ready to serve, reheat the chowder over low heat; don't let it boil. Ladle into cups or bowls, making sure clams, vegetables, and bacon are evenly divided
JASPER'S NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER
This chowder comes from Jasper White, chef and proprietor of numerous restaurants, including Summer Shack in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Use the freshest clams possible, and if you need to supplement the chowder with commercially prepared broth, make sure that it is made with juice from fresh clams.

Steps:
- Scrub the clams, and rinse clean.
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in an 8-quart stockpot over high heat.
- Add the clams, and cover tightly.
- After 5 minutes, uncover, and stir the clams with a wooden spoon.
- Quickly cover the pot again, and let steam for 5 minutes more, or until most of the clams have opened.
- Don't wait for them all to open, or they will be overcooked.
- It should only take a little tug or prying to open the stragglers once they are all removed from the heat.
- The total cooking time for large cherrystones will be about 10 minutes; quahogs will need as much as 5 more minutes.
- While the clams are steaming, the broth should become foamy and light.
- It usually spills over a bit just as the clams are cooked and ready.
- As soon as you remove the clams from the stove, carefully pour as much of the broth as you can into a tall, narrow container.
- Let the broth sit for 10 minutes, then carefully pour through a fine-mesh strainer.
- After sitting, 99 percent of the grit will have collected at the bottom of the container.
- If you are not using the broth within the hour, chill it as quickly as possible, and cover it after it has completely cooled.
- Keep refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
- Remove the clams from their shells, cover, and refrigerate.
- After they have cooled a bit, dice them into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Cover again, and keep refrigerated until ready to use.
- Heat a 4- to 6-quart heavy-bottomed pot over low heat and add the salt pork.
- Once it has rendered a few tablespoons of fat, increase the heat to medium and cook until the salt pork is a crisp golden brown.
- Remove from pot; set aside.
- Add the butter, onions, garlic, celery, thyme, and bay leaves.
- Sauté, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the onions are softened but not browned, about 10 minutes.
- Add the potatoes and the strained clam broth.
- The broth should just barely cover the potatoes; if it doesn't, add enough water to cover them.
- Increase the heat, and bring to a boil.
- Cover, and cook the potatoes vigorously until they are soft on the outside but still firm in the center, about 10 minutes.
- If the broth hasn't thickened lightly, smash a few potatoes against the side of the pot, and cook 1 to 2 minutes more to release the starch.
- Remove pot from the heat, and stir in the diced clams and the cream.
- Season to taste.
- If you are not serving the chowder within the hour, let it cool a bit, then refrigerate; cover the chowder after it has completely chilled.
- Otherwise, let it sit at room temperature for up to 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.
- When ready to serve, reheat the chowder over low heat; don't let it boil.

JIM'S NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER
After years of watching my New England relatives try to perfect their versions of this venerable seaside staple and several morphs and versions of my own, this has become my favorite. It yields a hearty delicious chowder that is not too thick. It is also forgiving enough that you can tweak it a bit to make it more healthy. For parties, I make this recipe as follows then place it in a crock pot on low. Guests eat it all day and there are never any leftovers!

Steps:
- Dice the salt pork into small cubes.
- I usually slice it into a grid while it is still attached to the skin, then slice across the skin where it attaches to the fat and the cubes pop off easily.
- Sauté the salt pork in a large 5 quart non stick sauce pan.
- When the cubes are golden brown strain them from the rendered fat onto a paper bag to drain.
- Save 4 tablespoons of the liquid fat from the salt pork,then wipe out the sauce pan with a paper towel.
- Put the fat back in the sauce pan.
- Dice the large onion into small pieces.
- Slice the 3 ribs of celery lengthwise then dice it into small pieces.
- Place the diced onion and celery into the heated pork fat and sauté until the onions are opaque and the celery is a bit soft.
- Pour the entire can of clams (broth and all) into the onion/celery mixture and bring to a simmer.
- Place the rosemary into the clam broth mixture.
- Peel the Maine potatoes OR scrub the red bliss potatoes.
- Then cut them into 3/4-inch cubes--I like them a bit chunky--and soak them in cold water for about five minutes.
- Take the stick of butter and melt it in a small sauce pan.
- Add the 3 tablespoons of flour to the melted butter and stir until well blended.
- Drain the potatoes and place them into the clam mixture, simmer until al dente.
- Next, pour the 2 cups of milk into the simmering clam broth mixture and bring back to a simmer.
- Lastly, swirl the butter/flour roux into the chowder and simmer for about 10 more minutes until the chowder thickens.
- Remove the rosemary and serve this chowder in big bowls with oyster crackers and the pieces of golden brown pork fat, salt and pepper to taste.
- NOTE: I don't like my chowder too thick so you may have to adjust the butter/flour mixture.
- You may skip the butter and use a low-fat margarine.
- You may also substitute skim milk too (or skip the milk altogether, this is called Point Judith/Rhode Island style!).
- You may even skip the whole pork fat thing for a healthier recipe.
- This chowder is so hearty that it stands up well to "healthier alternative" substitutions.
