And since it is answer me this… If a tomato is a fruit, is ketchup a jam/jelly?​

Botanically they’re fruits because of how they grow rather than veggies. But as they’re culinarily a veggie and jam/jelly is a culinary thing not botanical thing that means they aren’t one. Even if they were culinarily fruits I think there’s a high chance the added ingredients to ketchup wouldn’t match what jam or jelly is considered to have

technically yes. I would say. there is enough sugar in it to call it that.

In botanic yes but they are rarely used as a fruit in food
