Every holiday my mother made her famous CLAM DIP. It was so tasty, it was the only thing we ate on New Year's Day while playing family games. Mom's Famous Clam Dip 1  8 oz. block of cream cheese 1 can minced clams & the clam juice 1/2 tsp. garlic powder 2 Tbs. Worcestershire Sauce Open the can of minced clams. Leave the lid on and drain the clam juice into a bowl and set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, garlic powder and Worcestershire Sauce. Add clam juice until you get the dip thickness you prefer. I usually add about half the clam juice. Beat until smooth. Stir in the minced clams with a spoon. Best when refrigerated for at least one hour to meld flavors. Serve with wavy potato chips People will plant themselves by this dip and it will be GONE! I have to make FOUR-times the recipe at Christmas and New Year's.
