A fruit cheese is fruit cooked to a thick paste; usually, but not
always, with sugar added. This gets molded into a cake or loaf shape,
and, when cooled, can be sliced like a cheese, eaten with bread, etc,
and keeps a long time because of the comparative lack of water, high
sugar and fruit acid concentrations. A good example would be cotignac or
quidony, made of quinces, but they can be made from just about any fruit
that you can make fruit leather from. Period marmalades also generally
fall into this category.
