Answers:
Shazza - just slice the fresh clams, put them in a skillet with a little butter - add some clam juice if you don't have water or chicken stock will do - and let them cook until tender - this may take a while!. then you have home made "canned clams" -lol!. Just follow the recipe you have at that point -- good luck!! Www@FoodAQ@Com
