I found this recipe online at robbie's recipe collection. She later changed the recipe she had listed, but i like this version much better.

Steps

---

Steam spinach.

---

Strain and squeeze through cheesecloth.

---

Must be very dry.

---

Chop finely and set aside.

---

In heavy saucepan , melt butter.

---

Add garlic and onions and saut about 3-5 minutes.

---

Add flour to make a roux.

---

Stir and cook about 1 minute.

---

Slowly add heavy cream , stirring with a whisk to prevent lumping.

---

Mixture will thicken at the boiling point.

---

When it thickens , add lemon juice , tabasco , salt and parmesan cheese.

---

Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.

---

Stir in sour cream.

---

Fold in dry , chopped spinach , coarse diced artichoke hearts and jack cheese.

---

Stir until cheese is melted.

---

Serve immediately.

---

Or: preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Put dip in oven safe container and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Heat for 10 minutes , or until cheese on top is melted.

This is a good way to reheat the dip.
