I forget what celebrity chef video stated that. As soon as I find I will post it.

Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.

Wisdom is knowing not to put into fruit salad.

Other plants like fruit can turned into juice like orange or grape. Or can they also be turned to sauce if they are reduced enough, and water extracted?

When I write directly, I mean with very little processes. With tomatoes, slice them, cook them down, crush them. There is something in the skin that actually helps thicken it.

Soy sauce requires a lot of work. I guess you can say olives, but I considered that an oil. It can be used like a dipping sauce for breads. Any other plants or plant parts that become sauces without combining it or doing too much to it?
Apples = applesauce
Chilis/other peppers = hot sauce, Siracha, Frank's Red Hot, Texas Pete
Peanuts = peanut butter
Fruit sauces - pretty much every fruit out there can be made into a sauce
Avocados = guacamole
Olives = tapenade
Eggplant = tapenade
Chickpeas = hummus

The list goes on.

Hmmm.. never thought of it. I can't name any other plant you can make a sauce from that has the same consistency as tomato sauce.

I have this case in my head. Botanically, it is a fruit. For purposes of the Tariff Act of 1883 it is a vegetable.

Yes.

The word fruit in this sense is a botanical term, whereas vegetable in this context is a term from the field of cuisine. Those who insist that something must be part of one, exclusive to the other, don't understand this.

Yes, Cranberries is a good reply.

I think it is pectins in cranberries, tomatoes and other berry skins that thickens the sauce or makes a jelly/jam.

It's usually served with meat, particularly pork.

Ask Peter Brady.
It’s very common to eat applesauce by itself. That’s why it’s sold in packs of single-serving cups.

Eggplant makes for a fantastic (and easy) pasta sauce!
