...and ketchup is a jam
- yeahwhatever10 3y agoKetchup is my jam.
- bee_rider 3y agoIf we are to accept the madness of treating tomato as a fruit culinarily (although, your comment makes a strong argument for not doing so), would it be a jam, jelly, or…?
- lo_zamoyski 3y agoHow many jams, jellies, marmalades, or confitures do you know of that contain vinegar, savory spices, and salt? In a recipe calling for jam, would you replace it with ketchup?
- boulos 3y agoThere are several chutneys that include vinegar. They aren't in the same category as you listed, but the parent included an ellipsis, which I'll include chutney under.
- WorldMaker 3y agoSome "fruit preserves" also use vinegars and other acids. Which leads to the Venn diagrams of the definitions of pickles, chutneys, and preserves (fruit) all have a massive overlap and ketchup is right there in the middle as pickled tomatoes, tomato chutney, or tomato preserve depending on how much you want to classify it is a fruit, vegetable, or "it doesn't matter". (I would at least argue that "preserve" is the more accurate fruit term over jam or jelly.)
