New England Clam Chowder

INGREDIENTS:

1 slice hickory-smoked bacon, chopped
1/2 teaspoon butter
1 cup onion, minced
1 medium garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 can clams (6-1/2 ounces)
1 cup bottled clam juice
1-1/2 cups Half and Half
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 medium potatoes, boiled, peeled and diced

DIRECTIONS:

In a heavy-bottomed, 4-pint soup kettle, sauté bacon, butter, onion, garlic over low heat. Do not brown, just sweat the veggie. Drain clams and set aside, reserving the juice. Slowly stir the flour and clam juices in the sauté mixture. Bring to a boil; reduce heat.

Add Half and Half and simmer 20 minutes. Add white pepper, potatoes and clams. Heat to serving temperature. Do not allow to boil, as this toughens the clams. Serve at once with crackers and warm cornbread.
