Instructions:

Prepare Salt Pork:

Saute Onion:
- In the same pot with the rendered pork fat, sauté the onion just until tender, being careful not to brown it.

Combine Ingredients:

- Cook the mixture, uncovered, until the potatoes are almost soft, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Simmer with Milk:
- Pour in the milk and simmer the chowder very gently for 10 to 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop further and the chowder to thicken slightly.
-
Season to Taste:
- Taste the chowder for seasoning and adjust as needed, adding freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavor.
-
Serve:
- Ladle the warm Vermont Corn Chowder into bowls, sprinkle the surface with the reserved browned salt pork for added flavor, and serve alongside a generous supply of soda crackers for a delightful crunch.
