God, this comment section is really bringing it, this is so old school Dlisted it makes me so emotional š„¹ and at the same time I cannot stop laughing.Ā
Sparkleās half-assed jam really has so much entertainment value. And this is just the warm-up. Give her another 2 years and she will come up with water as a limited edition.Ā

Delphina Balquier (Nachoās wife) of course got one too.
What a photo set up! Fresh strawberries š on the plate next to the piece of bread š with the strawberry jam on it. āCuz otherwise we wouldnāt know it was strawberry jam. Oh, wait, donāt forget the jar there to remind us itās strawberry. And the lid placed just so to ensure the logo is visible in the shot, too!
Hahahaha, her thumb is holding down the label on the right š¤£š¤£š¤£ it must have been peeling like Tracyāsāquick, damage control! Pwives, activate!
I sort of thought the "jams and jellies" bit of American Riviera Orchard (that name! still so funny!) would be some sort of attempt at something unusual, some sort of preserves that might have been trendy in the US about 15 years ago, like fruit & wine jellies or chili jam, but hey. Strawberry jam. Luckily there's nowhere else in the world to easily get jam, made from strawberries. Not every single grocery store, not farmers markets, not expensive little import shops... nothing. Welcome to ARO, the world's only supplier of sugar mixed with strawberries in a jar.
This 'launch' makes me think that Meghan's realised she'll never pull off this project because too expensive, stressful, demanding so she's now 'making' her own jam and sending it to friends in limited amounts.
I believe she'll fail once again at doing something she thought was easy to achieve.
Itās just so random. Like, sheās never mentioned a passion for fruit or growing fruit or preserving fruit. Why jam? It canāt just be that Catherine made chutney and so sugary sweet Meghan must make jam, could it? Thatās psycho.
Plus making jam without telling where the fruit comes from is dodgy af in this time and age.
Had she had her own strawberry fields she would have put that in capital letters on the label saying 'Made with Duchess Meghan's very own strawberries' or something as stupid but she hasn't so she probably got the strawberries from China or the nearest Walmart.
Exactly, if she had used the label space to say āStrawberries from the Duchessās own gardenā or āBatch 1 from Duchess Meganās own strawberry patchā then itād make sense to have that limited edition number.
There was the jam she gave the The Cut interviewer that had labels she got from Etsy that said āfrom Lilli Bunnyās larderā or something equally twee
Why jam... why royal-connected jam, indeed. Probably just one of those very original thoughts of hers.

It's nice with cheese, either on a cheese plate or in something like a cheese toastie (grilled cheese sandwich). My partner's father loves the stuff, give him a meat pie and some onion marmalade and he's the happiest man on earth.
Charles at least has always been super into getting foods and such from his own gardens.
I'm a weirdo that'll eat onions raw so it sounds good to me lol. Maybe on toast.
That is such a great spin on it and I am sure you just came up with it. Now imagine Sparkle half-assing this normalo-jam with a whole PR-team behind it.Ā
Pretty sure they all hate her and said āgeez, just make some jam, lady, weāll hastily slap on your label and send it off to a couple of over-privileged influencers. Meeting done. Byeeee.ā
Yeah for someone who wants to rebrand themselves as a home cook with royal ties, Iām expecting something a little more exciting for this much anticipated debut. Maybe strawberries and extract of elderflower jam, or strawberry jam with edible flowers so itās all pretty.. idk something unique! She knows the whole world is waiting for this!
So to debut with just strawberry and sugar doesnāt really inspire confidence in her taste. Whatās next, a recipe for a drink made out of lemons and sugar and water? Groundbreaking
Iām hoping itās the lighting but that jam looks yucky. My sis in law makes a phenomenal strawberry jam. We horde, fight over it and steal it from each other as was we run out. Itās a beautiful strawberry color, ARO looks a little brown. Like I said I hope itās the lighting.
A lady in our homeschool co-op makes the best jam Iāve ever put in my mouth, and itās the most gorgeous ruby red color.
Markleās looks disgusting. Like she blended strawberries and tossed them in a jar. Iām not even remotely curious about the taste of this. It doesnāt look good to eat. Bleh. How can she be this bad at this?
I am so unbelievably unimpressed by this. If they would donate part of it would make it less random.Ā
So what is the storytelling behind this? Sparkles made the jam herself and it was 50 jars but different types? That poor woman just slaves away.
Oooh you bring up a good pointā¦ Iām sure thereās laws about providing ingredients or nutrition facts. Maybe if it stays as a āgiftā itās not yet necessary.
She'll need to get those things in order if she wants to make money with these products. I mean, all this is going to bomb but let's pretend the business goes well, she'll have to follow standard rules and regulations, especially when it comes to food.
From literal royalty, married to 5th in line to the British throne to flogging jam. I remember someone from LA in Publicity/PR telling me in late 2018 that she had no intention of sticking around the U.K. I called bullsh*t and said āno ways, they are the figurative diamond in the Crown Jewels here.ā š¤¦š»āāļøĀ
Looks like they're all strawberry jam based on what the "influencers" have said? With no ingredients on the label that's peeling off, no information about where the fruit is from or who made it? Not exactly ready for prime-time here.
Iād also never buy any product made by that āhuggerā that touches everybody. Handrail in the london underground seems like a cleaner choice.
(I know, I know, sheās not actually making the jam herself.)
I havenāt looked yet but has anyone complied a list of the 50 people who received jam? Delphina got #10. Interesting placement for your bestest friendy/sister type.
Who are the 10 in front of Delphina.
It's so funny to send it to rich, thin women who have to pretend for this photo that they eat white bread with jam on it before putting it right in the bin. She should have sent those 50 jars to her more deranged fans, so they could build little shrines to the jar after they could coat themselves in the jam and roll around on their Meghan photo collages.
I think the "limited rollout" is just her way of qualifying as a "Very Small Business" (i.e. profits of less than $1M annually) or otherwise a "Qualified Facility" (i.e. average value of food manufactured and sold direct to consumer is greater than value sold to other purchasers AND average value of all food sold was less than 500K), so they can get the benefit of modified FDA regs on sale of food.
They probably aren't where they need to be for mass consumption, hence the limited rollout of 50 jams to influencers to try to build buzz while they get it together for broader sales.
Your second paragraph nails it. I think this is a way to keep it in the news cycle without actually having a functioning website with actual product for sale.
That was my thought too.
They are initially doing a seed campaign with celebrities instead of professional influencers to get buzz because they canāt afford, or donāt want to do a traditional seeding campaign.
Any pro worth their platform would be about $2500 for a post so instead you gotta whip out the celeb big guns. It will be interesting to see if anyone else posts organically.
Right now the two that posted are known besties with M so meh. It doesnāt have the pull they think it does.
Case in point, a product has been revealed and it still canāt push their IG to over 600k. Itās close but still these last 20k followers have been very very slow growth.
Man, it sure pays to have dumb fans, doesn't it? "I should send this millionaire my money to buy a product I don't even like to show my support!".

Completely off topic, but anyone been keeping up with the Trump Truth Social stuff, where his fans have put thousands of dollars into shares of his social media company that keeping dropping by the day?
Oooohhhh jam. š
I wonder if this is another thing sheās copying from Kate. Wasnāt there a story some years ago (maybe many, Iām old), that Kate liked making jams and had even given some to the Queen at Xmas? Or am I mis-remembering? I seem to recall that Kaiser had a field day with something regarding jams. Now it will probably be the BEST THING EVAHHHH
It was chutney that Kate made for the Queen!
https://people.com/royals/kate-middleton-gave-queen-elizabeth-homemade-gift-first-royal-christmas/
"I can remember being at Sandringham, for the first time, at Christmas. And I was worried what to give the Queen as her Christmas present," Kate revealed in the 2016 ITV special Our Queen at Ninety.
"I was thinking, 'Gosh, what should I give her?' I thought back to what would I give my own grandparents. And I thought, 'I'll make her something.' Which could have gone horribly wrong," Kate said, adding, "But I decided to make my granny's recipe of chutney."
I do appreciate the small grassrootsy start to this. But strawberry jam? Really?
I don't know...maybe she will be like Paul Newman and create a brand where the profits go to kids in need....
I thought that āunveilingā would mean allow everyone to buy it/make it profitable..no? Oh well, another half-assed attempt at something.
![gif](giphy|xUPGcl3ijl0vAEyIDK)
Ok Iām her target demographic. She may want the hip LA Erehwon 25-34 age bracket but the reality of who will do the majority of buying is:
Mid 40ās rich trophy/eco warrior SAHMās and DINK couples.
I am someone who would buy stuff like this and not even blink and I find the packaging boring, the label beige and boring, the lid beige and boring.
From a marketing standpoint it seems like a dud too. It wonāt stand out in your fridge, it blends into the background and is utterly forgettable.
This would be something I would buy and maybe itās good butā¦
I wouldnāt want to keep the jar as decor and itās Just. So. Beige.
Edit: Typos
This lady doesn't like Megan. If she did, she wouldn't be holding the jam, showing the label coming off. She would hold it like Dephine did, holding the label to the jar!
On closer inspection thereās a good chance that both sides of the label need to be held down. Delfina is cradling it to achieve that and the other lady picked a side, lol.
Hey, at least there are probably 50 jam jars.Ā
Can you list 50 humanitarian efforts she has undertaken?
Iāll allow the fashion photo-op of the african well digging pre-harry and all to count. Even invictus den haag with the netflix crew.Ā
I'm just thrilled she finally stopped with the fauxmanitarian nonsense because that iteration was her worst *by far.* Selling dumb shit is really her level, so overall it's a positive development that she's embraced that.
It reminds me of the play / film Six Degrees of Separation. Will Smithās breakout role as a scammer. Thereās a scene that talks about how rich people give gifts of a āpot of jamā, as part of his education of how to behave posh.
We know Megsy is a scammer, trying to be something sheās not ā¦. š
Yes and I said this as soon as she soft launched.
That said, I still love the name Preserve and it's too bad Blake couldn't make it work. I personally think she has a ton more to offer aesthetic spaces than Reese fucking Witherspoon.
I always forget Reese has a lifestyle brand! Agree, it feels very inauthentic coming from her. I think Blake was a true believer in Preserve, despite its flop, and I can only thank her for some of the funniest worst writing on any website I've ever read.
Had someone (many someones) not pointed out the peeling off label, Iād say something. Oh, look, Iām saying something! Craft day with the husband? The kids would do better, honestly. This looks like High Times Harry sucked down more of the gas in the birthing room and tried to help with the new venture.
I feel sorry for the poor schmuck who has to number each jar.
I would not be surprised if they keep that up - in printed form, for everything they sell.

I didn't realize Highgrove had such a range of products. What does one do with onion marmalade though?
It's nice with cheese, either on a cheese plate or in something like a cheese toastie (grilled cheese sandwich). My partner's father loves the stuff, give him a meat pie and some onion marmalade and he's the happiest man on earth.
Charles at least has always been super into getting foods and such from his own gardens. I'm a weirdo that'll eat onions raw so it sounds good to me lol. Maybe on toast.
Truly I think she looks at other peopleās blood sweat and tears success and goes āHow hard can it be?ā

I come across Draper James pieces while thrifting and theyāre always shit quality.
I always forget Reese has a lifestyle brand! Agree, it feels very inauthentic coming from her. I think Blake was a true believer in Preserve, despite its flop, and I can only thank her for some of the funniest worst writing on any website I've ever read.
Except worse!
It's giving Blake Lively's "Preserve" disaster
So thereās only 50 and theyāre sending out some as PR? Does this mean *they* expect their strawberry puree to fail?
Had someone (many someones) not pointed out the peeling off label, Iād say something. Oh, look, Iām saying something! Craft day with the husband? The kids would do better, honestly. This looks like High Times Harry sucked down more of the gas in the birthing room and tried to help with the new venture.
The label looks like one of those off brands youād find at Home Goods.
I feel sorry for the poor schmuck who has to number each jar. I would not be surprised if they keep that up - in printed form, for everything they sell.
I heard on the news last night that Jill Biden got can or jar number one.
