Soft-Clam Chowder Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Soft-Clam Chowder Recipe, first chop a quart of soft clams, peel and slice 6 potatoes thin, tie up in a cheesecloth bag 6 whole allspice and 6 cloves. Put 1/4 of a pound of minced salt pork into a pot and fry crisp, then remove the pork and fry a small sliced onion in the pot to a light brown. Add the potatoes and a can of tomatoes, the spice bag, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and a quart of cold water. Cook four hours. After cooking three and a half hours add the clams and 4 pilot biscuits that have previously been soaked in milk. Serve very hot.

Scallops can be used instead of clams, and treated in the same way they make a delicious chowder. More cayenne should be used than in the clam chowder.
