   ~------------------------------------------------------
   ~----------------- Butter the baking dish, pie pan, or
   springform pan until generously coated.  Sprinkle the
   crumbs as needed into the pan, then turn the pan
   around and shake gently, distributing the crumbs along
   the sides as well. The crumbs should completely coat
   the inside of the pan.  Chill briefly to set the
   crumbs and then fill with the desired filling. CAKE:
   Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.  Sift together the
   flour and baking powder and set aside.  Press the
   cottage cheese through a sieve.  In a large mixing
   bowl, beat the eggs and the sugar until they are
   frothy.  Add the spices and fruit rinds.  Add the
   cottage cheese and blend all the ingredients well.
    Stir in the butter, then add the dry mixture, mixing
   well.  Pour the mixture into the prepared crust and
   bake for 1 hour. NOTE:  Again this is more like a
   quick bread, and you can increase the sugar if you
   like as this is not particularly sweet.
