Minorcan Clam Chowder
1 qt. Chopped clams with juice
5 large potatoes, diced
3 large onions, diced
4 stalks celery, diced
3 large green peppers, diced
1/2 lb. bacon, diced
2 large cans crushed tomatoes (16 oz.)
salt and pepper to taste
thyme to taste
2 bay leaves
datil pepper (optional)
Fry bacon until crisp. Add onions, green peppers, and
celery in bacon grease and sauté until soft.
Add all ingredients and simmer approximately 2 hours.
Add a little water if needed, and more tomatoes to
adjust consistency. You can also use fewer vegetables,
as this is a thick and chunky style chowder.
Baked Cran-Datil Brie
14 oz. Brie (remove top layer of rind)
1/2 cup cran-datil jam
chopped walnuts
1 sheet of puff pastry

Allow puff pastry to thaw and roll out 1 sheet to 1/8"
thickness. Spoon cran-datil jam on top of Brie and sprinkle
with chopped walnuts (or nuts of choice) on top of jam.
Lay the pastry over the cheese and wrap ends under and
seal by crimping edges together. Brush top and sides
with beaten egg. Bake at 400 until golden brown. Serve
