Hot Sourdough-Clam Dip- Desserst & Party Foods Cookbook

2008 sure has got off to a fast start I can hardly believe it is February already. With the Super Bowl coming up I will post some snack ideas for the next few days. I enjoy clam dip and this sounds like a good hot version.This takes awhile to warm so you could make it up ahead, put it in the oven when the game starts and it would be ready at half-time. It is from Beta Sigma Phi International- Desserts & Party Foods Cookbook. This is an interesting cookbook because it includes party menus for various holidays and functions including Founders Day, Rush and Ritual of Jewels.

Hot Sourdough-Clam Dip

1 round loaf unsliced sourdough bread
2 (7 oz.) cans minced clams
1/2 cup clam liquid
2 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons chopped chives
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
6 drops Tabasco sauce
2 tablespoon lemon juice
Slice top off bread loaf. Hollow out inside. Cut removed bread into 1-inch pieces. Combine the remaining ingredients in bowl, mixing well. Pour into hallowed-out loaf. Wrap in foil. Bake at 250 degrees for 1 1/2 hours or until heated through. Serve with warmed bread pieces.
