  1. The subject says it all. I'm working on my fruitcake recipes in
    MasterCook, and I'm not sure how to categorize the stuff. Any
    opinions?

    It's certainly not a quickbread, nor have I ever seen it listed as such in
    any cookbook. It is generally listed under cakes, subcategory, fruitcakes.

    Why not set up a category for Christmas or Holiday foods. I have one
    for Thanksgiving since most of the things I cook then I may also do
    for Christmas but rarely any other time of year.

    Thanks! I do have a Christmas category. I'll just stick with that
    for the fruitcakes. In the US, that's the only time most people make
    them.

    Christmas. Dessert. Miscellaneous. Any or all. It's constructed more
    like a cake than a quick bread, IIR,

    Cake. A lot of fruit cakes are a pound cake base.

    I tell ya, the batter for this fruitcake is good enough to eat with a
    spoon, and forget about the fruit and the oven. It does seem to have
    all the components of a pound cake, but i'm not sure if the
    proportions are right.
