Yield:

Makes 2 cups

Ingredients

1 3-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1 7-ounce can minced clams
1/2 pint (1 cup) sour cream
1/8 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons onion juice (see Note)
1-2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

Drain the clams, reserving some of the liquid, and mash into the softened cream cheese. Add the remaining ingredients and blend well.

If a thinner dip is required, use 1 or 2 tablespoons of the reserved clam liquid to thin the mixture. For a thicker dip, omit the sour cream and use 2 packages of cream cheese instead of just one.

Serve with sturdy potato chips.
