What constitutes fruit with meat? Ever look at the ingredient list
for Heinz 57 sauce?

LOL I do not like Heinz 57 sauce. (Mom likes it on fried egg sandwiches)

I made Apple Ketchup once long ago and was
stunned to see that it tasted an awful lot like 57 sauce. Mainly
apple pulp, seasoned with spices and vinegar. Is that still a fruit
product?

Sounds like a fruit product to me

Or is it a fruit-based condiment and condiments don't count
as fruit? :-) Mango chutney? My fruit butters are wonderful
accompaniments to meat. To each one's own, eh?

Indeed to each ones own! I dislike mangos, ergo mango chutney (in fact,
most chutneys) isn't my cup of tea. I'm not wild about applesauce so I'd
never consider pairing it with pork chops. I found a recipe years ago
(Cooking Light magazine, maybe) that called for halved peaches (packed in
juice, not syrup) to add some punch to bland (baked, IIRC) chicken breasts.
It sure *sounded* good when I read it.

I don't have a problem with the tart addition of lemons and limes to a lot
of meats (well, chicken & fish or seafood) in cooking. And pineapple juice
does make a nice tenderizer when added to marinade for steak, but I don't
want the marinade to scream pineapple.
