Mo's Clam Chowder

I'm plotting making MO's Clam Chowder for my Sewing Circle.... I found the reciepe online!! Here is is:

Mo's Famous Clam Chowder
I love to find recipes that are supposedly the ones that restaurants use to make their "secret" stuff. This clam recipe is supposed to be the one that Oregon famous Mo's Restaurant uses. Once again, I doubt it's authentic, but are you going for some tasty clam recipes or what? ;)

Ingredients:
• 1 lb. Bacon, diced
• Salt and pepper
• 1/4 lb smoked ham, diced
• 6 cups minced clams, drained
• 6 cups chopped onions
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 5 cups water
• 6 cups whole milk
• 12 cups diced potatoes
• Butter and paprika

Preparation:
Saute bacon and ham together, add onions and saute until limp. Set this
mixture aside, but do not drain.

In 5 cups of water, add potatoes, salt, pepper and any collected clam juice.
Cook until potatoes are tender. Set aside and do not drain.

To the bacon, ham and onion mixture add the flour and make a roux. Mix the
roux into the potato mixture, bring to a boil. Stir down when the boiling
point is reached and add the milk and clams.

Do not allow the chowder to boil again once the milk is added. Garnish with
a dollop of butter and add a dash of paprika.
Serves 12-14


Note: It's difficult to find "all-purpose" potatoes anymore, but that is going to make for the best chowder for any kind of clam recipes. The bacon should be smoky and salty, and the ham should also be full-flavored. Make sure that the clams are top-notch for the finest
