Crites Family Stuff

Ingredients for 12 servings

• 2 (6.5 oz) cans minced clams
• 1 cup onion finely chopped
• 1 cup celery finely diced
• 2 cups potatoes finely diced
• .75 cup butter
• .75 cup flour
• 1 quart half and half
• 1.5 tsp salt
• Dash pepper
• .5 tsp sugar
• Milk to dilute to desired consistency

Steps

1. Drain juice from clams and pour over vegetables in medium saucepan. Add enough water to barely cover and simmer covered over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes. In the meantime melt butter, add flour and blend and cook a minute or two. Add half and half and cook and stir until thick, using wire whisk. Add undrained vegetables and clams and heat through. Season with salt, pepper and sugar to taste. Add milk to dilute if too thick.
