Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brine

    In a medium saucepan, combine water, sea salt, white vinegar, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the salt is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Clams

    While the brine is heating, rinse the razor clams under cold water to remove any sand or grit. If they are particularly sandy, soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Clams to Brine

    Once the brine is boiling, add the cleaned razor clams to the pot along with the crushed garlic cloves and lemon slices. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams open up.

  4. 4

    Can the Clams

    Carefully transfer the clams and brine into sterilized jars. Make sure the clams are fully submerged in the brine. Seal the jars tightly.

  5. 5

    Cool and Store

    Allow the jars to cool to room temperature before storing them in the refrigerator. Let the tinned clams sit for at least 24 hours before using to allow the flavors to meld.
