This is actually the first time I'm going to say: it's a badly-formulated puzzle. I found a solution in which all 16 words could be grouped into 4 groups of 4 believably, and when I entered my first guess, it gave me "one away".

Hot sauce, butter, syrup, milk: things you put on other foodGuts, jam, tea, beans: metaphors for gossip/truth telling.
Pickle, freeze, ferment, can: ways of preserving food.
Grate, grind, scrape, gnash: rubbing teeth together.
I entered the gossip one, and it was one away. I think also tried swapping jam for milk to change it to "spill the _____". Not even one away.
The definition of a badly-formulated connections puzzle is when there are multiple viable complete solutions. Frequently people complain about how they found one category that worked but wasn't right, but usually theirs wouldn't work with the other 3 categories. IMO that's not what happened today.
Agreed.
Completely agree

I had jam in the preserving category at first. And all the other categories made some sense.
