I realized that what this blog needs to be, in part, is a repository of family recipes. Here is the wonderful, famous, delicious clam pie, as learned from my mother-in-law.
Clam Pie
Ingredients:
Pie crust
3 cans of clams, chopped (save the juice)
1 cup evaporated milk
3 T butter
3 T flour
1/4 chopped onion
white wine, c. 1/2 cup
To make the filling, melt butter in sauce pan, saute the chopped onion till golden. Add the flour and stir roux a couple of minutes. Then add the milk, clam juice and wine and cook, stirring, till thick. Add the clams. Pour into pie shell and cover with top crust.
Bake at 350 about 40 min. or until crust is done.
Great served with salad and crescent rolls.
