Best Aunt Faiths Clam Dip Recipes
AUNT MARJORIE'S CLAM DIP
Here is another of our old family recipes. The cooks have gone on, but their memories remain in the food they so lovingly prepared for us when we were young. As children, we always loved visiting Aunt Marjorie and Uncle Luther, my father's brother. They lived on a small farm, and had so many different kinds of fowl. She used to cook with tiny little Bantam Hen eggs - I think it took 3 of those to equal one hen's egg. Oh, the memories!

Steps:
- Soften cream cheese to room temperature. Drain clams and add 2 tablespoons clam juice to the cream cheese.
- Mix cream cheese, clams, tabasco sauce, salt & pepper, onion, and lemon juice until well blended. Place in serving dish and chill. May sprinkle with chopped chives if desired.
- This is very good with crackers or celery sticks. We used to eat it on those little flavored crackers called "Chicken in a Biscuit." Do they still make those?
MERILL'S BAKED CLAM DIP OREGANATA
This is my sister in law's recipe. It's like a clam pie or a giant baked clam served warm with crackers (I like Ritz for this). It could be prepared, up until the baking, a day in advance. Just put it in the refrigerator and bake when ready the next day! If you make it and freeze it for the future, just thaw and reheat. This is a family favorite and a crowd pleaser when I make it for guests - Enjoy! PS-I like it with 2 cans of chopped clams too! You get bigger clam pieces that way.

- Saute for a few minutes and then add the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.
- The texture should be like a paste.
