Clam Dip With Beer

Ingredients:

  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 4 oz. sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 clove garlic
  • 1/4 cup beer
  • 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Tabasco
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 (6.5 ounce) cans minced clams, drained

Directions:

1.    In a medium-size bowl, combine cream cheese, onion, beer, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, and salt. Beat well. Fold clams into the mixture. Place in baking dish and cover with foil.

2.    Bake at 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) for 3 hours.

Beulah’s Whiskey Spiked Carmel Corn

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unpopped corn (White, yellow, as long as it is fresh)
  • 3 cups of granulated white sugar
  • 1/2 cup good Whiskey
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 1.5 tsp baking soda

1.    Pop the popcorn using an air popper (or on the stove with oil if you don’t have an air popper). Place popped popcorn in a large bowl. You’ll want enough room for stirring after you pour the caramel over it. I had to separate the popcorn into two bowls.

2.    Cover two sheet pans with aluminum foil.

3.    In a large saucepan, combine sugar, Whisky, butter, vanilla, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously.

4.    Continue to cook until sugar melts and caramel becomes a brown (caramel) color. This will take about 15-20 minutes. Will turn dirty brown before it becomes smooth.

5.    Once melted, stir fast, so won’t be scorched.

6.    Add the baking soda and keep stirring. (Careful, it will double in quantity fast!)

7.    Quickly remove from heat, pour over the popcorn and stir quickly to coat all the corn.

8.    Spread the caramel corn out on foil lined sheet pans and allow to cool at least ten minutes before digging in.

Oh my, this is so wonderful.  Just don’t eat it up too fast.  Enjoy!
