CLAM PIE

Clam Pie

(An old New England seashore dish.)

Chop the clams if large, saving the liquor that runs from them. Heat, strain, and season this and cook the chopped clams for 10 minutes in it. Have a thick top crust of good pastry, but none at the bottom of the bake dish. Fill with alternate layers of the minced clams, season with salt, pepper, a few drops of onion juice, some bits of butter and a few teaspoonfuls of strained tomato sauce, and thin slices of boiled potatoes. Dredge each layer of clams with flour. Lastly, pour in a cupful of clam juice, put on the crust and bake half an hour in a quick oven.
