Reese Family Clam Dip
By: Stacky5
May 9, 2005
This is an ABSOLUTE MUST in our family...We can't have Christmas or Thanksgiving without this! The taste is truly awesome, and at every family gathering you would find countless brothers-in-law and their offspring "guarding the chip dip table" and in most cases "secretly hording" it for themselves! LOL! My sister, Shelly, has become "The Official Maker of The Dip" in our family, ever since Mom died...You can trust Shelly!!! Try this, you will not be sorry --- except if you don't make enough!
SERVES 6 -8 , 2 Cups
Ingredients
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 1 dash pepper
- 1 dash paprika
- 8 ounces minced clams, drained (but reserve liquid)
- 1/4 cup clam broth (reserved from the can)
Directions
1
Peel and halve garlic clove, and rub on interior wall of serving bowl. (This seems like an unimportant step -- but my Mom used to swear that this one step made all the difference -- We don't question Jolean. You shouldn't either -- ). Mince the rest of the garlic clove to add to the other ingredients.2
Leave cream cheese in bowl until it has reached room temperature. (Don't nuke it -- let it rest and thaw on it's own --) Then cream with a fork until smooth.3
Gradually add remaining ingredients (except minced clams), blending well. (Use a hand mixer to get the lumps out, if any.).4
Fold in minced clams last. Blend well --.5
Chill for 1 hour, sprinkle paprika on top and serve with rippled potato chips.6
YUM!

I apologize, but I just didn't care for this, neither did the guests at the party I took it to. I don't know what exactly I expected, but it ended up tasting like smoked tuna salad. Sorry.

This clam dip is the best I've ever tasted. I don't know what the other reviewer did to make it taste like smoky tuna, but it tasted fabulous to us, and our guests. The clams weren't overpowering, the spice from the tobasco sauce was perfect, it was excellent. I think it's better left over night, instead of an hour. Gave the flavors time to blend more. Wonderful!

I made this today for a quick snack/dinner and let it chill about 45 minutes. (I was hungry!) I felt the clams overpowered the dip but this was still tasty and very easy! Thanks Stacky!! (WildFlours!)
