Eenope. That's not true.
No.
Probably. you might want to keep your voice down.
For it to be classified as a jam it must be made entirely different i believe.
Ketchup is not a jam, because (A) there are no pieces of solid fruit in it and (B) it is not sweetened. But tomatoes are fruit, and technically almost all vegetables (Besides stalk, root, and leaf vegetables) are fruit.
just a slight error in this one: ketchup is indeed sweetened. there is more sugar in a cup of ketchup than there is in a cup of ice cream.
Anything that produces seeds inside the vegetable ( AKA Pumpkin ) is a fruit. So tomatoes are fruits yes, BUT ketchup isn't a jam because jam has small peaces of the fruit its made up of in, and all jam's are sweetened with sugar. You could make your own tomato jam and see what it taste like. by cutting up tomatos very small and blending 7/8th of the, then put the other 1/8th in and mix with a spoon, then add sugar.
No
Also Marmalade is also NOT a Jam but uses fruit
Lemon Curd is NOT a jam, but uses fruit....
I could go on but thats the main two I can think of

Maybe if the Ketchup believes that it is Jam it is jam.
jam: requires the seeds of the fruit to be intact
jelly: requires the fruit mixture to be strained & thickened
salsa: chunky ketchup
ketchup: best classified as "sauce"

How is this important.
Because understanding this conundrum is the key to unlocking the meaning of life.
It is. Just that simple. Accept the facts of life.
Ask the all mighty lemon!
No you must ask the magic conch
Jelly you have with Ice Cream, end of!!
Fun Fact:
Marmalade was called marmalade because.... the French queen Marie was very sick so they made her this orange "jam" and she got better.... the French for sick is malade. Mar-malade!

No, the tomato isn't a fruit, it was declared a vegetable, by the government, when farmers asked how much it should be sold for, and all that jazz.
In 1887, U.S. tariff laws that imposed a duty on vegetables, but not on fruits, caused the tomato's status to become a matter of legal importance. The U.S. Supreme Court settled the controversy on May 10, 1893, by declaring that the tomato is a vegetable, based on the popular definition that classifies vegetables by use, that they are generally served with dinner and not dessert (Nix v. Hedden (149 U.S. 304)). The holding of the case applies only to the interpretation of the Tariff Act of March 3, 1883, and the court did not purport to reclassify the tomato for botanical or other purposes.
So, basically, they just declared it a vegetable for taxation purposes, and didn't attempt to change it's botanical identification as a fruit (which it is).

Yep. Soup has it.
In english: Legally, a tomato is a vegetable. But scientifically, a tomato is a fruit.
