Fruit ketchup is used as a condiment in the same manner as the more common tomato ketchup.[6] It is also used as a spread, dipping sauce, marinade, topping and base for salad dressings.[6][7][1] It can be used to top beef and pork and various savory dishes such as meatloaf.[1][3] It is also used as a sandwich spread.[3]
Banana ketchup, sometimes referred to as banana sauce, is a sweet ketchup prepared using mashed banana, sugar, vinegar and spices.[8][9] It is a common condiment in the Philippines, where it is as common as tomato ketchup is in the United States.[8][10] Banana ketchup is mass-produced by some companies and marketed under various brands, such as Jufran.[8]
