Stain broth through cheesecloth in a metal sieve. Repeat until all sand is removed (I strained mine twice). Add water to broth so that there is 6 cups of liquid. Set aside for now..
Remove clams from broth and set aside. Discard any that did not open..
In large pot, cook bacon until crispy. Drain all but two tablespoons of grease..
