Farmer's Chowder Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Farmer's Chowder Recipe, first parboil and slice 6 good potatoes. Chop and fry half a pound of salt pork, and when it begins to crisp add a minced onion and cook to a light brown. Pack the potatoes, pork, and onion in a soup-kettle, sprinkling each layer with minced parsley and pepper. Add the hot pork fat; cover with a pint of boiling water, and cook gently for half an hour. Turn into a colander and drain the liquor back into the pot.

Have a pint of hot milk ready, into which a tablespoonful of butter rolled in flour has been stirred. Place this in the kettle containing the liquor, cook one minute, add the potatoes to the kettle, and serve.
