Leslie's Crab Spread

Pretty perky and fairly easy. This came from Minnesota in 1994.





List of Ingredients



• 3 large packages cream cheese, cut into chunks (may be partly fat-free)
  
• 1/4 cup pickled jalapenos, sliced
  
• 1/2 cup pickled jalapeno juice
  
• 1 cup sour cream
  
• 1 pound lump crab meat (or 3 cans)
  
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  
• Salt and pepper to taste
  
• 2 cans artichokes, drained and sliced
  






Instructions



1. Microwave cream cheese, liquid, and jalapenos until soft on about 70%. Add artichokes and sour cream.
   
2. Microwave on 50% power until hot. Add remaining ingredients. Heat just until hot.
