Growing up, I'd have applesauce with my potatoes, vegetables and meat pretty much every single day to make the meal a bit sweeter and tastier (to kids), like most Dutch kids. I recently watched a Swedish series where one of the kids wanted berry jam with this meal, and I've seen it served with the meatballs at IKEA in Sweden too.
Do other cultures have such a fruit-based condiment that's often eaten with a hot meal?
