How To Freeze Clams
Rinse off external sand by hos
ing or washing under water tap.
Place clams in cold water to
which salt has been added in the
proportion of three ounces (about
4 tablespoons) to each gallon of
water. Allow to stand for about
an hour so the clams will clean
themselves of most of the sand
held within the body. Open or
shuck as follows in order of pre
ference: (a) Shuck raw, saving
liquor (b) Steam open; subject
to live steam until majority of
shells open (c) Immerse in boil
ing water for two to three minu
tes to open shells.
Wash dams well under run
ning water, having slit the neck
and digger lengthwise to remove
dirt, sand or foreign material and
stomach contents. Drain off ex
cess water.
If desired, the necks may be cut
off, ground and packed separate
ly for use in chowder.
Pack body, whole or minced, in
glass freezing jars, waxed tubs
or polyethlene - lined cartons.
Cover with clam liquor. A salt
solution (one level tablespoon to
a quart of water) may be substi
tuted for the clam liquor. The
meats should be thoroughly cov
ered with the liquor or brine to
prevent “freezer burn” and off
flavor development during stor
age. Leave head space for expan
sion. Seal well. Freeze.
