Salt and pepper to taste
2 Dozen chowder clams steamed

In a heavy bottomed pot place the salt pork and cook over low medium
heat to render all the fat. Add the onions, celery and leek and cook
for 12 to 15 minutes to sweat the vegetables without browning. Add
the flour and stir to coat all the vegetables evenly, creating a pale
golden roux. Add the hot water, stir well to avoid lumps, and season
with salt and pepper. Cook for 30 minutes at a strong simmer before
adding the diced potatoes, return to the simmer, and allow to cook
for 15 minutes. Add the milk and heat thoroughly but do not scorch or
boil the milk. Ad the clams, heat through and adjust the seasoning.

Serve with oyster crackers.

Yield: 2 to 2 1/2 quarts chowder.
