¾ cup heavy cream

1/3 c parmesan
-
¼ teaspoon garlic powder

1 16 oz bag chopped frozen spinach,

In a food processor fitted with a metal
blade, process the cream cheese, cream, parmesan cheese and garlic
powder until smooth and creamy. Add the spinach and process until
thoroughly mixed. Add the artichokes and process (pulse) just until
coarsely chopped. Turn the mixture into a 3-1/2 quart electric slow
cooker; smooth the top. Cover and cook on the high heat setting 1-1/4 to
1-1/2 hours, until hot in the center. Sprinkle the top evenly with the
Jack cheese and spoon the salsa in a ring around the inside edges of the
slow cooker. Cover and continue heating on high 15 minutes longer, or
until the cheese is melted. Reduce the heat to the low setting and serve
warm with crackers or tortilla chips for dipping. Refrigerate any
leftovers.
