Reese Family Clam Dip

• 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)

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!
