Ingredients:

1. 1 pound salt cod
2. 1/4 cup salt pork, finely diced
3. 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
4. 3 cups raw potatoes, diced
5. 1 cup carrots, diced
6. 3 cups water
7. 1 teaspoon salt
8. 1/2 teaspoon pepper
9. 1 cup canned corn, drained
10. 3 cups milk, heated

Method:

• Freshen salt cod by soaking it overnight in cold water. Drain and place in a stewing pot, and cover with fresh water. Bring to simmer at low heat. Drain. If the fish is still too salty, add fresh cold water, bring to simmer again, and drain.
• Fry salt pork in stewing pot until crisp. Remove fried pork scraps and reserve for garnish.
• Cook onion in pork fat until tender. Add potatoes, carrots, water, salt, and pepper. Cook, covered, about 10 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Add corn, heated milk, and freshened salt cod. Bring chowder to a simmering temperature, but do not boil.
• Garnish with the pork scraps and serve hot.
