Christmas Eve Oyster Stew

Ingredients

• 1 gallon 2% low-fat milk
• 3/4 cup butter
• 15 ounces oysters, with their juice
• celery salt
• salt and pepper
• 12 ounces oyster crackers

Directions

1. 1

   Add milk, butter and oysters with their juice to a double boiler or a large pot that fits inside of another pot. Fill the bottom pot as full of water as you can without it running over.

2. 2

   Add a little celery salt, salt and pepper and then heat on low. Cook very slowy so the milk won't boil (I start at 1 pm. for dinner at 6 pm). Every now and then stir. After a few hours, do a taste test to adjust seasonings.

3. 3

   Serve with oyster crackers.
