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

Steps:
- Add the clam juice and vegetable stock to a large pot and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add the clams and steam until fully opened, 5 to 8 minutes. Strain the steaming liquid through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any remaining sand and add the liquid from the canned clams; set aside. Remove the clams from the shells and chop roughly; reserve the clams separately.
- Return the cleaned pot to medium heat and add the butter, pancetta and bacon. Cook until the bacon and pancetta are crisp and the fat has fully rendered, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove about a quarter of the cooked bacon and pancetta to a plate lined with a paper towel; reserve for garnish.
- Add the celery, garlic, onion, seafood seasoning and celery salt to the pot; season with salt and pepper. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the potatoes, heavy cream and the reserved clam broth. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the chopped canned clams, reserved cherrystones, Worcestershire and hot sauce. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve hot in bowls and garnish with the dill, oyster crackers and reserved bacon and pancetta. Serve with more Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce alongside.

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".

THE BEST CLAM CHOWDER
This is a basic New England clam chowder, though with leeks used in place of the traditional onions, and a splash of wine to add a floral note. Also: thyme. Very continental! It is shockingly delicious and deserves its title as best. Bacon will add a smoky note to the stew. If you use it, it may be worth it to go the whole distance and get expensive double-smoked bacon instead of the standard supermarket fare. The salt pork, which is not smoked, will take the meal in the opposite direction, emphasizing the pure flavor of the clams.

Steps:
- Put the clams in a large, heavy Dutch oven, add about 4 cups water, then set over medium-high heat. Cover, and cook until clams have opened, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. (Clams that fail to open after 15 to 20 minutes should be discarded.) Strain clam broth through a sieve lined with cheesecloth or doubled-up paper towels, and set aside. Remove clams from shells, and set aside as well.
- Rinse out the pot, and return it to the stove. Add butter, and turn heat to medium-low. Add bacon or salt pork, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the pork has started to brown, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove pork from fat, and set aside.
- Add the leeks to the fat, and cook, stirring frequently, until they are soft but not brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in potatoes and wine, and continue cooking until wine has evaporated and the potatoes have just started to soften, approximately 5 minutes. Add enough clam broth to just cover the potatoes, approximately 3 cups, reserving the rest for another use. Add the thyme and the bay leaf.
- Partly cover the pot, and simmer gently until potatoes are tender, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, chop the clams into bits about the size of the bacon dice.
- When potatoes are tender, add cream and stir in chopped clams and reserved bacon. Add black pepper to taste. Let come to a simmer, and remove from heat. (Do not let chowder come to a full boil.) Fish out the thyme and the bay leaf, and discard.
- The chowder should be allowed to sit for a while to cure. Reheat it to a bare simmer before serving, then garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with oyster crackers.
