MAINE CLAM CHOWDER
This chowder is thin and brothy, not thick and creamy. Other than that it is a recipe that goes back in my family probably a century or more. It is easy to make, with one exception, and it is an important one: You cannot allow this to boil, or even simmer, once the milk has been added. It will curdle. There are two ways to help stop this from happening. First, you can heat the milk and evaporated milk to steaming before adding it to the chowder pot. Or you can do what mom often does, which is to let the chowder base cool to room temperature before adding the milk and then reheating it; this process is called "ripening."

Steps:
- In a large soup pot, heat the butter over medium heat and add the diced salt pork and onions. Fry this slowly until the the onions are soft and translucent. Do not brown the onions.
- Mix in the potatoes and the clam juice and add enough water to just barely cover the potatoes. Bring this to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
- When the potatoes are just about tender -- not completely cooked -- add the chopped clams and turn off the heat. Let this cool for at least 30 minutes. You can make this chowder base up to a day ahead if you'd like.
- Once the chowder base is pretty cool (below 100°F), add the milk and evaporated milk and turn the heat on low. Gently bring the chowder up to eating temperature, and be very careful not to let it simmer. Add some freshly ground black pepper to taste and serve hot.

MAINE CLAM CHOWDER
Maine Clam Chowder is made from soft shell clams that are native to Maine. They are very sweet, if you could call a clam that. When you add milk, cream, onions, and potatoes, you have a wonderful "chowdah".

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

- Rinse the clams in cold water and then place them in a pot and cover them with cold water. Soak them for a few minutes, stir them around gently once or twice, drain the water and then repeat this a few times more until there’s no grit left. Discard any with cracked or damaged shells.
- Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a 5-6 quart stock pot and add the clams. Steam for about 5 minutes or until shells open widely. Stir clams once or twice to steam evenly being careful not to crack the brittle shells. Remove from heat as soon as shells open. Remove the clams and strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer. You should get about 3 to 4 cups of broth. Set the broth aside and reserve.
- Let the clams cool down for a few minutes and then remove the clam meat from the shells. Pull off the black covering from the siphon or slice off the siphon entirely, if you prefer. Set the clam meats aside.
- Heat the butter in a medium-sized stock pot over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Saute until veggies are softened, about 5 minutes.
