1 (8 oz.) pkg. of cream cheese
2 tbsp. mayonnaise
2 tsp. onion juice
1 tsp. paprika
2 tbsp. sherry (optional)
2 (4 oz.) jars smoked oysters, chopped
Finely minced chives or black olives

Bring cheese to room temperature; mix with mayonnaise, onion juice, paprika and sherry; whip until fluffy. Fold in finely chopped smoked oysters and chives and/or black olives. Serve with crisp dip crackers.

REMARKS: This has been a favorite dip for many years. It is always requested, and this recipe has been passed on to so many people. If "onion juice" cannot be found, I have found it just as good to use very finely chopped onions. Remember to DOUBLE this recipe...one recipe is never enough.
