Clam Dip

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 8 oz pkg cream cheese
• 2 TB mayonnaise
• 1 pint = 16 oz cottage cheese--small curd
• 1 tsp grated onion
• 1 6-1/2 oz can clams--minced, drained, reserve juice

PREPARATION:

• Use an electric mixer or blender,combine cheeses, blending until light & creamy.
• Add freshly grated onion & mayonnaisewith wooden spoon, blend in drained clams.
• Add clam juice for desired consistency.
• Add garlic powder if desired--just a sprinkle

Aurelia's Note: Recipe is usually doubled using 3 cans of clams, instead of just 2. Add more if you like really clammy! Also beware of using fat-free cottage cheese/cream cheese-they tried it and it's not good. Best to go with regular or low fat.
