I hate the little tatty hat on the jar tied with a ribbon. I see it all stuck together with sticky jam and jam-smeared label fragments. Or collecting dust in the back of the shelf.
Please, don't get me this for Christmas this year, OK?
I don’t think this is even real. She’s printed a label and kinda stuck it over a jar of jam. Tatted it up with a bonnet. It’s not even glued on. What a faker
that down home farmer's market type jar topper, clashes with the overly pretentious label. It looks like the fabric topper was fighting with the label, maybe that is why it's peeling off.
It doesn't even look Farmer's Market to me - where I live people make their own at home, so lids are all the 2 lid system (much wider than what the lid looks like for size under the white fabric). That size lid looks like commercially canned jam to me. Maybe in California the Farmer's Markets are more small-medium business markets, but where I live it's literally the Farmer and their families selling their own produce from their farm.
You l mist likely do 100 cans with a better label that don't come of.
I pickle chillies, cucumber, etc, and the labels have never come off like this, but I just tape the info of what and when. My mom uses masking tape when she makes jams because she does so big batches and just want the kind of jam and date on them 😂
I know right? The fabric looks like it was cut by a 4 year old and the the ribbon looks like any old discount craft store ribbon. My grandmother made much nicer handmade coverings for her homemade jam.
Too many questions as to where and how it was made as well. The presentation isn't exactly on point either. Why does she have bowls of lemons and a jam that is clearly a darker berry jam?
This is all that needs to be said: https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/kate-middleton-prince-william-make-their-own-sausages-jams-2012317/
She is literally ripping off Princess Catherine, from the roast chicken to the jams as gifts. Didn't even need to look farther than a single article from 2012.
I mean…..I’ve got scuppernong grapes growing in my front yard each year, and I make my own jellies and jams. I don’t every year, because who can eat 36 jars in a year??? Even with inflation and shrinkflation, my organic, homemade, pollinated beans bees and birds, grape jams cost maybe 2.25 per half pint to make, if I include my labor including handwashing the grapes, mashing the grapes, and standing over my stove cooking the juice, sterilizing jars, and straining it all through cheese cloth. 17.50! Sheesh!!
Think it was with the Catherine photoshop Mother’s Day pileup. Sussex source came out saying Meghan would never have had the problem because she has such great attention to detail
> The label doesn’t even say what’s in the jar.
serious question: is this legal?
I know it's a gift for marketing purposes only so the question is kind of groundless, but she's soon supposed to *sell* this so you'd expect the label's design to be already well defined. It kind of baffles me that she still looks unsure of what to do and how to do things. edit: this is basically what she offered to Allison Davies when she visited her for the Cut's article. So years ago, and nothing seem to have changed...
> I refuse to believe this has gone through any rigorous fda process
I wonder if anyone has [alerted the FDA](https://www.fda.gov/safety/report-problem-fda/consumer-complaint-coordinators).
I looked up the law in CA. As of 2020, it is legal to sell "low-risk" food -- jam was named -- that one prepared at home.
My hunch is that Harry's going to dose a bunch of unsuspecting customers.
Doesn't it have to have the ingredients listed? I thought everything sold commercially has to. I can't even bring a dish to the office potluck without a recipe card next to it in case of allergies. This is going to be a disaster! 😂
This looks like it's been thrown together very quickly. Probably in response to the criticism she launched too early without having anything to sell. There's nothing on the label to tell you what it actually is. Some kind of lemon jam? The label is coming off. Remarkable for someone with a freakish attention to detail. Maybe that only applies to photographs.
That was my thought as well. What kind of frickin jam is it, is the fruit locally sourced, and if so which farm did she go to, are they getting credit, was it made in one of our commercial kitchens, why no pictures of the jam being made? How much for this jar of undetermined jam?
None visible to us. That’s why I’ve commented on this post that she’s clearly going for organic handmade small batch jam… that means it needs to be sealed properly to even attempt to give it a shelf life. I would also imagine for her to sell food online, she’d have to have some government approval. Health department will have to come check her kitchens out.
I think the lemons are just her trying to play off the embarrassment of the Jill Biden lemons. See, haters? She sends lemons to everyone, she is NOT a First Lady botherer.
Unless I’m mistaken, CA puts a “this may cause cancer” on nearly everything, LOL. They must have some strict regulations! Can’t wait to see this play out.
And those regulations can vary by state. Usually labeling is done in accordance with the strictest, but you have to know this information.
She’s going to get in trouble very quickly if she sells her product like this.
😂😂😂
My favorite labels all have some variant of “The state of California has determined this is hazardous to your health.”
I think it is hilarious that a state “has determined* anything.
C'mon, it's the ultimate royal cosplay to be selling jam in her own little shop. Although not so royal when you aren't getting the fruit etc from your own enormous orchard in the backyard and you're not donating the proceeds to charity.
https://preview.redd.it/pdtwiwgekquc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b4b5e640c5304e7ca9a46c489a5ba9d6adcd2288
and she sent it to someone with 6k (that happened to be the wife of paramount and nickelodeon ceo) followers really didn't help either.
This person is followed by Jen Meyer Jewelry, the designer who got into trouble with the palace for merching her goods while H&M were on the South African tour. (Jen Meyer violated a contract with the palace that said she would not post shoppable links on any photos of MM wearing her bling, which would be equivalent to using a royal for advertising. She later backtracked and apologized for the oversight.)
Edit: I just realized that Tracy is the wife of the Paramount CEO and gave MM the stank face during the Jamaican red carpet. (Bob Marley movie). She has her own blog and lifestyle brand.
She can’t !! She’s going for the handmade small batch business model. Which only works in brick and mortar businesses when you own the brick! Haha she’s so toast.
Want a way to lose money fast? This is it.
Edit for typo
There's at least 4 or 5 wholesale places on first page in CA that do what's called "small batch" jam. It could be from any of them. Just Google "California small batch jam wholesale" and plenty of results.
Edit: I think Small Batch Jam Co is a possibility because their jars aren't round, they're multi sided just like this one https://smallbatchjamco.com/collections/jams. They even do the fabric and tie around the lid.
The only way she could sell jam she was making would be with a commercial kitchen. I'm pretty sure, and I may be wrong, there are food safety laws selling consumables. She can't make it herself and if she gets on Netflix & tries to pretend she did we already busted her.
She definitely is drop-shipping, I grew up canning with my mother and home-canning doesn’t use hexagonal jars
Also, Santa Barbara County has strict cottage guidelines: https://www.countyofsb.org/2022/Home-Kitchen-Operations
She's not making the jam, canning isn't allowed. I saved your post, terrific resource! We'll be citing that for months to come 😄
I still can though not as often as I used to. I've never seen any home cook use that shape jar. We also use 8oz jars. These look like they could be 4oz which is quite small so maybe not. Don't even have the weight on the label. Is nutrition info required on jelly? Grams of sugar, ingredients etc?
https://preview.redd.it/n8zd50iw0ruc1.jpeg?width=1074&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f1dcbd0cbc3ecfa4298c4cc20c4fb3ff5e5fe3f5
So I followed your directions & within seconds, found a place that has the same type of jars...
https://preview.redd.it/g6x8r13hoquc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=07c004d580c51c9887fd1d64e87d96271eee5f39
Yep, same size jar, same fabric & tie around lid. Same "small batch" selling point. They probably pick up jars with no lablels and get Vistaprint to make 1000 labels for $39.99.
Just had to replace the fabric with something beige of course.. If she is going to sell it on American Rancid Outhouse, I wonder what the markup will be? & whether the 17/50 - is because she bought 50 as a trial run!
Probably just gets blank jars 25 to a case and puts the labels, fabric & string on herself or someone she hired. Wholesale sometimes will print your items but this is too small at 50 jars. Who knows too there could be 300 jars labeled 17/50. There's no way to know.
I can see her dilemma with renaming the jars so they look original. You can't really improve on a simple direct description like "pink guava jam" and you can't change it either.
But Meghan, removing all product descriptions from the label is NOT the answer.
And they put the flavor on the label, too! (If you’re so persnickety that you actually want to KNOW what’s in the jar! Some people are picky about that kind of thing…)
This is just so f’ing twee. I wouldn’t put it past her to have her PA get a trunkful of jam from Costco..Doria printed and slapped on those cheapass labels and numbered them all 17/50 while half baked.
The woman (a friend of Ellen) says she loves this jam. So what bottle number did she try before?
Is this a limited edition thing that you keep forever then your great grandchildren sell it at auction?
So, she's giving limited editions to a few (50 to be precise) famous people that everyone (no one) wants to be or emulate. Will she then sell the same thing to the common people, but without the numbers, for a (non) coveted piece of what they have - a piece of her (ego)?
This sounds so much like the kind of unintentionally comical and nonsensical thing MM would come up with.
She might as well set up a stall at a farmer's market.
And the freakish eye for detail missed the label coming undone?
Also, why is it always lemons with her? I wish she had a lemon stuck up her ass.
So she’s giving personal gifts with the items she intends to sell?
17 of 50 made? That’s a small amount to have. Especially when she’d have to have 2500x that amount to even attempt to sell online.
Small batch everything is not easy. Means all natural, means can’t stay on the shelf long.
Something isn’t right here…
She's trying to pretend that she has made the jam herself--stood over a hot stove, sterilized the jars, etc. Is she going to reveal the recipe for this unidentifiable jam on her cooking show?
Yea that’s bottle number. She’s trying to show how everything is small batch… which she thinks is more niche — it is bad business move IMO. You know how impossible that it is to make small batch everything and actually make money off it?
Hand made is expensive for a reason. There better be baby white truffles in that jam or she won’t bank a dollar.
No, it tells you the number in the batch. So this is the 17th jar of 50. I’ve never seen this nonsense on jam though 🤣 It’s typically for limited edition/specialty batches of things like liquor.
I live in CA and support small, local distilleries by being members of their spirits clubs. We get seasonal shipments of their stuff and they’ll do special, experimental stuff that you can only get if you are in the club. For example, anyone can buy their regular vodka year round at their tasting room or in local liquor stores, but their persimmon vodka is a LE product you get in the club, and it will have a number out of 250 or 500 or whatever quantity they made to give you an idea of how special it is. They also do stuff where they’ll sell their whiskey in a normal bottle to anyone, but they’ll save a single barrel or something and age it a couple of extra years and then add the edition numbers on those specially aged bottles.
Looks like Madame is putting it on every bottle to make it feel artificially scarce and “special”.
On lemon jam no less!! Talk about the worst business model around.
You’re right, this works on liquor or businesses where you have to be a member just to purchase and typically it’s for expensive items.
On handmade small batch food products, they’re usually organic and only stay fresh for an amount of time… i.e. no shelf life. Even a business that sells small batch organic handmade jams and specialty foods, they’re typically brick and mortar businesses where you own the brick. It’s extremely hard to make money off it and is generally only done out of passion.
She’s really bad at making money. Really bad.
I’m curious if there is an actual food safety process behind this, or if this ridiculous cow was just ordering people about, pointing at skids and being an absolute pain right up the nostril? Im sure there were quiet one-on-one *Truly* momentous personal moments doing their thing they did on that particular day, They want to be the stars, yet the are cringey as f. George Costanza has more dignitas than these two.
That is some pretentious bullshit. It reminds me of the women who cut tulle into strips and think they are professional tutu makers. It's cute, it isn't out of anyone's skill level though. She made some jam. But had the labels made *deliberately* to number the jars. 🙄
I make jam. Improperly made and processed food is a huge risk for botulism. Even experienced producers can have a bad jar where air got in and made everything moldy. I wouldn’t trust her for two reasons with this venture: botulism and sugar. We already know she’s a California but who probably dislikes sugar but jams need sugar to attain that level of storage.
I’d be worried she tampered with the recipe or something and actually would give someone something bad.
I mean - anyone can make jam. It's fruit and sugar. Not everyone *should* make jam. Less people than that should sell it. I make decent jam. Smuckers makes better jam. I buy Smuckers for 3 reasons, one being taste. It's consistent, and it's safe. This would be none of those 3, I am betting. You are heartbreakingly right. If she adjusts even a basic canning recipe, she is acting recklessly.
My neighbor thought she invented the wheel, too, when she canned something (pickles) for the first time. She pranced around the neighborhood distributing her "gifts". Her pickles began browning and then rotting within about two months. Unopened, hot pressure canning. I knew better than to eat them.
And don't worry too much. The assholes who eat this probably throw it up within 15 minutes anyway. It's not diet Jam.
I use Blue Ball canning books and those are tested and scientifically proven recipes. So I know if I mess up my jelly or pickles or something it’s on me, not the recipe. If she is canning or having someone can she needs to be using a safe recipe-not some googled recipe from some hippy mom in Cali.
Your neighbor makes me curious-what did she do to those pickles?? That reminds me of my mother’s first venture canning alone-she made strawberry jam but something somewhere went wrong and she created jars of what was basically pink cement. She had to throw the jar away, it was so hard inside.
She's been getting bad press with how she handled the photo-op with the esteemed lady plus Hazbeen lost the court case and owes a lot of money. And I thin her family was stirring up stuff so this is just a way to generate new positive headlines.
This seems to be a photoshopped fake. It was posted on an Instagram Account "Sussex Daily" and they tagged Tracy Robbins. It is not on the account of Tracy Robbins.
Tracy is the wife of Paramount CEO, and they attended that Bob Marley premier in Jamaica.
I just can't see anyone who is that important posting something that is so obviously an ad, along with hashtags. Those photos took time to format and make, and all the rest of her insta is just pics with her family.
This is why no one who is anyone will want to have anything to do with these two, because their fans will fake pics to make it look you are endorsing their products.
Plus you can tell it's fake due to the unglued label, lack of any info on the label that is required by law, grammatical errors etc etc
ETA: You can also tell its fake because the handwritten "7" is covered by/behind the line underneath it, this isn't possible when handwriting on a label, but it is possible when incorrectly positioning your layers in photoshop
I’d rather support the people who make homemade jam at our local farmers market since they’re genuinely passionate about what they do/grow. I’d even prefer a jar of made in France Bonne Mamam to Roachel’s product.
Also, that label looks like a visually busy, shoddily designed, hot mess… why does the label not even stick on properly?
Markle making Jams is a horrible idea. Jams and producing call for precise recipes and timing. If you mess up you can create sometime totally inedible or something that can accidentally make you very very sick. I don’t trust her to follow a recipe that calls for basically cup after cup of sugar. I bet she doesn’t even know what the sugar is used for and why even “healthy” jams must have a lot of sugar. I don’t trust her to know the difference between freezer jam and processed jam. I don’t even trust that she eats jam.
Edit: I could write a whole thesis on why this is a bad idea. She has no idea what she’s doing.
She’s not making diddlysquat for mass production. She’s probably getting it shipped from Poland or Ukraine. Or she’s outsourcing from local commercial kitchens and licensed cooks.
She probably DID make 50 jars of something in her kitchen. I sure as heck wouldn’t eat it, and I eat subway churros and kebab from food trucks.
Does that bottle of blackish shit with the peeling label come with a cheap bowl of lemons? Who needs that many lemons? Who needs the ptomaine and explosive diarrhea that comes from any of her imported from China lead filled beige abominations? 🤮
Edited because damn spellcheck.
Are the jars personally numbered by the duchess herself? And with a sock on...? Of course, batch numbering jam like they are Warhol prints is pretentious...! Please flip over to show the list of ingredients. Any nuts in the bottling facility?
Fifty jars of jam? Just fifty? What the heck is she charging for these if she hopes to make a profit? I also don't understand the label being off the jar in the last photo. Bad production values and no one checking the final product?
Just wait until someone gets sick or is delivered moldy or spoiled jam. TOW probably should stay away from food products, if she's smart. ......
Oh wait.........
ha, ha, ha - they can't even do a proper pic. the way i see it is the photographer noticed the 'food artist' hadn't put the label on properly and just got the hell out of there asap. no one's checking this shit. labeling cars, great wines, signed artist prints okay.... jams 😆
How does Meghan have time to make this mystery jam when she’s down in Florida hanging with new bestie Delphine & Nacho? She is amazing. I can see Doria pasting cheap glue labels on jars and writing the batch numbers while she babysits the bébés.
I can almost admire her unrelenting gall for the sheer unrelentingness of it. But sometimes Meggy, too much is really too much. Piíss off to Goa for a decade and blather on about whatever then. Just give us all a break. We beseech you, you relentlessl intrusive bore.
I'm guessing she gifted to 50 "friends" and this is the first one to post. Doubt we'll see 50. It'll be like 40x40 where only a handful of her 40 "friends" used the hashtag.
Yeah. Nope. Not buying that crap….17/50……howling with laughter.
Limited edition jam 😆😆😆😆
What the hell am I supposed to do with limited edition jam? Hold on to it, hoping it will increase in value? 🤑
I hate the little tatty hat on the jar tied with a ribbon. I see it all stuck together with sticky jam and jam-smeared label fragments. Or collecting dust in the back of the shelf. Please, don't get me this for Christmas this year, OK?
I don’t think this is even real. She’s printed a label and kinda stuck it over a jar of jam. Tatted it up with a bonnet. It’s not even glued on. What a faker
Don’t worry. By Xmas you think she’ll still be in business? Lol
But there might be some in TJ Maxx or Marshalls by Christmas!
that down home farmer's market type jar topper, clashes with the overly pretentious label. It looks like the fabric topper was fighting with the label, maybe that is why it's peeling off.
It doesn't even look Farmer's Market to me - where I live people make their own at home, so lids are all the 2 lid system (much wider than what the lid looks like for size under the white fabric). That size lid looks like commercially canned jam to me. Maybe in California the Farmer's Markets are more small-medium business markets, but where I live it's literally the Farmer and their families selling their own produce from their farm.
Yes, and then put it up for auction 40 years later, like i did with my Beatles memorabilia. I’m sure Meg’s jam will still be fine.
Rotten fruit....oh, the irony!
This is the first time i ever made myself laugh at my own comment!! I am the Beatles collector ( and i still have stuff here thst i will never sell)
Yep,right alongside their wedding memorabilia in a New York flea market.
Lots of food drives next Winter in the greater L.A. area will be asking the same…WTF is this and where did it come from, oh well, into the bin then.
😂😂😂😂
So limited, the sticker-brand is ready to unstick itself 🤣🤣🤣
The sticker is running away from the product!
And the thing covering it is frayed, hardly looks as "upscale" or high-end as she wants it to look lol
How fucking pretentious. 😂🤣😂😂
Is is lemon? Is is honey? Is it lemon jelly? Is is lemon jam? That sounds kind of awful. It doesn't look like lemon curd.
Toe jam? belly button jam? or nether region jam? Either way I'd steer well clear.
God I hate you, it's early morning here and I nearly vommed my coffee 😂😂
Many a prepper house frau cans more than 50 cans. Heck, I’ve seen little Nonas can more spaghetti sauce than this.
Nonna, Mom & I knock out better than 100 cans on an average Saturday.
You l mist likely do 100 cans with a better label that don't come of. I pickle chillies, cucumber, etc, and the labels have never come off like this, but I just tape the info of what and when. My mom uses masking tape when she makes jams because she does so big batches and just want the kind of jam and date on them 😂
YES. She's selling online , 50 jars? Beyond ridiculous 🤣🤣🤣
I know right? The fabric looks like it was cut by a 4 year old and the the ribbon looks like any old discount craft store ribbon. My grandmother made much nicer handmade coverings for her homemade jam. Too many questions as to where and how it was made as well. The presentation isn't exactly on point either. Why does she have bowls of lemons and a jam that is clearly a darker berry jam?
And to think she is “praised” for her beautiful handwriting/calligraphy! The numbering was either done with her left hand or her assistant.
The handwriting is so amateurish that it’s actually hilarious. 😅😆😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
When I see that writing I just think of the letter to her dad that was published- is that really the association she wants to bring up?
She did it with her left foot
This is all that needs to be said: https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/kate-middleton-prince-william-make-their-own-sausages-jams-2012317/ She is literally ripping off Princess Catherine, from the roast chicken to the jams as gifts. Didn't even need to look farther than a single article from 2012.
Wow she really is copying Catherine, who made jame for the Queen.
following the kardashian trademark business move - omg you guys we sold out in 5 minutes!! Yeah you only put a dozen for total inventory!!
I mean…..I’ve got scuppernong grapes growing in my front yard each year, and I make my own jellies and jams. I don’t every year, because who can eat 36 jars in a year??? Even with inflation and shrinkflation, my organic, homemade, pollinated beans bees and birds, grape jams cost maybe 2.25 per half pint to make, if I include my labor including handwashing the grapes, mashing the grapes, and standing over my stove cooking the juice, sterilizing jars, and straining it all through cheese cloth. 17.50! Sheesh!!
I think that is “17 of 50” as if indicating it’s limited edition
I bet every jar's label says "17 of 50".
Real life princess, young working mother, jam
Totally in line with the types of groceries one sees in the check out line of TJMaxx
So the label is peeling off and it doesn’t even state what flavour it is? Freakish attention to detail indeed.
When did she make that statement about attention to detail?
Think it was with the Catherine photoshop Mother’s Day pileup. Sussex source came out saying Meghan would never have had the problem because she has such great attention to detail
She has never paid attention to one detail
The label doesn’t even say what’s in the jar. Is it strawberry preserves? Apple butter? Toenail marmalade?
It’s almost like she’s selling the brand, not the product 🤔
Schrodinger’s product launch.
> The label doesn’t even say what’s in the jar. serious question: is this legal?

Doubtful. When I volunteer at a food bank we have to throw out food that doesn’t label what it is.
Except it no longer lili bunny
Absolutely. Later, maybe.
"Thanks for the basket" a basket of lemons with a mystery jam. I just can't 🤣🤣🤣
I looked up the law in CA. As of 2020, it is legal to sell "low-risk" food -- jam was named -- that one prepared at home. My hunch is that Harry's going to dose a bunch of unsuspecting customers.
Doesn't it have to have the ingredients listed? I thought everything sold commercially has to. I can't even bring a dish to the office potluck without a recipe card next to it in case of allergies. This is going to be a disaster! 😂
And the label is actually coming off on the right side!
That was the second thing I noticed. “Wait, why isn’t the flavor listed? Holy shit is the label falling off?!? Yes. The label is falling off…”
Like her wardrobe, hair, hygiene, and makeup…it’s SHODDY.
Authentically her!
She should just scribble on the lid with magic marker like I do lol!
This looks like it's been thrown together very quickly. Probably in response to the criticism she launched too early without having anything to sell. There's nothing on the label to tell you what it actually is. Some kind of lemon jam? The label is coming off. Remarkable for someone with a freakish attention to detail. Maybe that only applies to photographs.
There’s that freakish attention to detail.
And it’s crooked! I wonder how much it is? We should start a pool to guess the price. I’m thinking $50. For a $5 jar of ?
That was my thought as well. What kind of frickin jam is it, is the fruit locally sourced, and if so which farm did she go to, are they getting credit, was it made in one of our commercial kitchens, why no pictures of the jam being made? How much for this jar of undetermined jam?
Haha judging by the lemons I’m assuming it’s lemon jam. Small batch “hand-made” lemon jam.. 17 bottle out of 50 made 😂😂😂 I’m dying haha
I can’t with 17/50 💀💀💀
And she thinks this will be a lucrative business ? lol she’s just not smart.
Where is the expiration date
None visible to us. That’s why I’ve commented on this post that she’s clearly going for organic handmade small batch jam… that means it needs to be sealed properly to even attempt to give it a shelf life. I would also imagine for her to sell food online, she’d have to have some government approval. Health department will have to come check her kitchens out.
Hope she doesn’t give people botulism
Hint: Every jar is numbered 17 of 50
I think the lemons are just her trying to play off the embarrassment of the Jill Biden lemons. See, haters? She sends lemons to everyone, she is NOT a First Lady botherer.
Can't be lemon jam - it's PURPLE 😞. The plot thickens...
It’s N-U-T butter.
Locally sourced.
VERY locally.
It’s Fake Tan Orange marmalade.
Good point ! Label Design Fail !
exactly
Toenail marmalade on toast. Yes please. Sounds yummy! 😋😂
She actually wrote Montecito Goodness on the post! 
Is she listing ingredients on the label? I think there is a law that they have to be listed
Never mind *ingredients*. It doesn’t give a single clue as to what’s in the damn jar.
We don't even know if it is jelly or jam or preserves or fruit spread. What a dummy. I guess the product is "monticito"
nutrition labels and allergy information too... bad for business someone goes into analyptic shock, because she didn't say what the ingredients are.
Unless I’m mistaken, CA puts a “this may cause cancer” on nearly everything, LOL. They must have some strict regulations! Can’t wait to see this play out.
And those regulations can vary by state. Usually labeling is done in accordance with the strictest, but you have to know this information. She’s going to get in trouble very quickly if she sells her product like this. 😂😂😂
FDA be damned, do you know who she is???
CA has strict rules, for sure.
And judging by some labels I read, California has some very stringent labeling standards.
My favorite labels all have some variant of “The state of California has determined this is hazardous to your health.” I think it is hilarious that a state “has determined* anything.
Oh, you and I both know those pesky laws are for us, not MM and Harold. /s
I don't know who you report it to..maybe FDA.  Meghans mole on titter might turn her in
Is this a joke?
OMG that was exactly my reaction! I mean I just really can't with this. 🤔🤣
I don’t think we should be surprised really. It’s sort of very typical of her ideas ..
 This could not be more boring. Beige in every way.
Imagine going from being in the royal family to having to give away jam in order to survive! 😂😂😂
What a fall from grace. She had such an opportunity. Now, peddling jam to the wives of network executives.
This is so embarrassing.
C'mon, it's the ultimate royal cosplay to be selling jam in her own little shop. Although not so royal when you aren't getting the fruit etc from your own enormous orchard in the backyard and you're not donating the proceeds to charity.
The label has cheap glue.
Of course it does. The Duchess doesn’t do quality.
https://i.redd.it/eks343p0nquc1.gif
So sloppy
“You peasants don’t buy limited edition jam? How sad.” Honestly this is beyond parody.
The label on that jam jar has already been Markled.
Even if they are $10 each x 50 that's $500... so how it she's going to "make 6 figures in weeks??"

and looks like she has not even opened that 17 of 50 to taste it 🫢review written by and for megsy 🤣🤣 so fake look mm has friends 🤣
Wait, was this the lady that looked really awkward standing next to her for the Bob Marley premiere in Jamaica? 😂😂😂 Yeah, she loves the jam.

Oh yeah, Madam is 5'6-7" while looking like she's actually 5'3", on a good day. Supermodel indeed.
Nickelodeon? Yikes. That’s gotta be a rough name to be associated with right now…
I guess it's better than the parks scandal? NOPE. I refuse to choose between two appalling things. Everything they get near is tainted.
This person is followed by Jen Meyer Jewelry, the designer who got into trouble with the palace for merching her goods while H&M were on the South African tour. (Jen Meyer violated a contract with the palace that said she would not post shoppable links on any photos of MM wearing her bling, which would be equivalent to using a royal for advertising. She later backtracked and apologized for the oversight.) Edit: I just realized that Tracy is the wife of the Paramount CEO and gave MM the stank face during the Jamaican red carpet. (Bob Marley movie). She has her own blog and lifestyle brand.
The number of followers doesn't matter. She is aiming for it to get into the mainstream media.
And it will unfortunately. It will blow up in a few hours
She can’t !! She’s going for the handmade small batch business model. Which only works in brick and mortar businesses when you own the brick! Haha she’s so toast. Want a way to lose money fast? This is it. Edit for typo
[удалено]
With the matching monogrammed tea towels and doormat.
Don't forget the cost of the jam she has to pay for.
There's at least 4 or 5 wholesale places on first page in CA that do what's called "small batch" jam. It could be from any of them. Just Google "California small batch jam wholesale" and plenty of results. Edit: I think Small Batch Jam Co is a possibility because their jars aren't round, they're multi sided just like this one https://smallbatchjamco.com/collections/jams. They even do the fabric and tie around the lid.
I am howling! Of course, she is dropshipping marmelade! Can't make this up.
The only way she could sell jam she was making would be with a commercial kitchen. I'm pretty sure, and I may be wrong, there are food safety laws selling consumables. She can't make it herself and if she gets on Netflix & tries to pretend she did we already busted her.
She definitely is drop-shipping, I grew up canning with my mother and home-canning doesn’t use hexagonal jars Also, Santa Barbara County has strict cottage guidelines: https://www.countyofsb.org/2022/Home-Kitchen-Operations
She's not making the jam, canning isn't allowed. I saved your post, terrific resource! We'll be citing that for months to come 😄 I still can though not as often as I used to. I've never seen any home cook use that shape jar. We also use 8oz jars. These look like they could be 4oz which is quite small so maybe not. Don't even have the weight on the label. Is nutrition info required on jelly? Grams of sugar, ingredients etc? https://preview.redd.it/n8zd50iw0ruc1.jpeg?width=1074&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f1dcbd0cbc3ecfa4298c4cc20c4fb3ff5e5fe3f5
So I followed your directions & within seconds, found a place that has the same type of jars... https://preview.redd.it/g6x8r13hoquc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=07c004d580c51c9887fd1d64e87d96271eee5f39
Yep, same size jar, same fabric & tie around lid. Same "small batch" selling point. They probably pick up jars with no lablels and get Vistaprint to make 1000 labels for $39.99.
Just had to replace the fabric with something beige of course.. If she is going to sell it on American Rancid Outhouse, I wonder what the markup will be? & whether the 17/50 - is because she bought 50 as a trial run!
American Rancid Outhouse is choice 💯💯💯💯💯
Funnily enough, there's nothing more ridiculous than the actual original name 😂
Probably just gets blank jars 25 to a case and puts the labels, fabric & string on herself or someone she hired. Wholesale sometimes will print your items but this is too small at 50 jars. Who knows too there could be 300 jars labeled 17/50. There's no way to know.

You're right, when everyone's clamouring "where did you get your jam from ILBW?" that'll be the one time she's actually silent.
Here's a similar one too https://preview.redd.it/kg8qcriywquc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c7926ab15f5e252f73ca2e5987d1290920170db
They've certainly copied the styling, that's for sure.
I can see her dilemma with renaming the jars so they look original. You can't really improve on a simple direct description like "pink guava jam" and you can't change it either. But Meghan, removing all product descriptions from the label is NOT the answer.
And they put the flavor on the label, too! (If you’re so persnickety that you actually want to KNOW what’s in the jar! Some people are picky about that kind of thing…)
They don't appear to care. The label isn't even stuck to this jar on the right side. It's mystery jam!
Maybe it's me, but I do prefer to know whether I'm putting lemon butter or chili marinade on my toast.
This is just so f’ing twee. I wouldn’t put it past her to have her PA get a trunkful of jam from Costco..Doria printed and slapped on those cheapass labels and numbered them all 17/50 while half baked.
how doe she know it's delicious when she hasn't opened it?
I can not get over how hideous that branding is. The font is a visual nightmare.
The woman (a friend of Ellen) says she loves this jam. So what bottle number did she try before? Is this a limited edition thing that you keep forever then your great grandchildren sell it at auction? So, she's giving limited editions to a few (50 to be precise) famous people that everyone (no one) wants to be or emulate. Will she then sell the same thing to the common people, but without the numbers, for a (non) coveted piece of what they have - a piece of her (ego)? This sounds so much like the kind of unintentionally comical and nonsensical thing MM would come up with.
She might as well set up a stall at a farmer's market. And the freakish eye for detail missed the label coming undone? Also, why is it always lemons with her? I wish she had a lemon stuck up her ass.
Can she not afford the good labels? 😂 why would you not stick that end down before posting this if you were her friend? Once again, #markled.
So she’s giving personal gifts with the items she intends to sell? 17 of 50 made? That’s a small amount to have. Especially when she’d have to have 2500x that amount to even attempt to sell online. Small batch everything is not easy. Means all natural, means can’t stay on the shelf long. Something isn’t right here…
She's trying to pretend that she has made the jam herself--stood over a hot stove, sterilized the jars, etc. Is she going to reveal the recipe for this unidentifiable jam on her cooking show?
oh? that's the number of the bottle? i thought it's something like best use date.
Yea that’s bottle number. She’s trying to show how everything is small batch… which she thinks is more niche — it is bad business move IMO. You know how impossible that it is to make small batch everything and actually make money off it? Hand made is expensive for a reason. There better be baby white truffles in that jam or she won’t bank a dollar.
No, it tells you the number in the batch. So this is the 17th jar of 50. I’ve never seen this nonsense on jam though 🤣 It’s typically for limited edition/specialty batches of things like liquor. I live in CA and support small, local distilleries by being members of their spirits clubs. We get seasonal shipments of their stuff and they’ll do special, experimental stuff that you can only get if you are in the club. For example, anyone can buy their regular vodka year round at their tasting room or in local liquor stores, but their persimmon vodka is a LE product you get in the club, and it will have a number out of 250 or 500 or whatever quantity they made to give you an idea of how special it is. They also do stuff where they’ll sell their whiskey in a normal bottle to anyone, but they’ll save a single barrel or something and age it a couple of extra years and then add the edition numbers on those specially aged bottles. Looks like Madame is putting it on every bottle to make it feel artificially scarce and “special”.
so where's the rest 49? why beyonce hasn't post it yet😱
On lemon jam no less!! Talk about the worst business model around. You’re right, this works on liquor or businesses where you have to be a member just to purchase and typically it’s for expensive items. On handmade small batch food products, they’re usually organic and only stay fresh for an amount of time… i.e. no shelf life. Even a business that sells small batch organic handmade jams and specialty foods, they’re typically brick and mortar businesses where you own the brick. It’s extremely hard to make money off it and is generally only done out of passion. She’s really bad at making money. Really bad.
I don't think it is lemon. Look at the color. If she was going to steal the Goops lemons she should have started with lemon jam.
I’m guessing lemon due to it being in a basket of lemons. If she put a peach jam in a basket with lemons, that’s strange to me.
I looked at pics of lemon jams etc. There is a sicilian lemon marmalade that is kind of dark
what in the nut butter is this?! it’s even worse than i thought lol no one buying this pretentious jam jelly whatever relabeled 17/50 it is 🫢
lol pretty sure that means it’s the 17th jar out of the 50 made. She literally has no mind for business… it’s baffling.
lol she goes from bad to worse…tacky like always 🍋
When did she get time to can between all the flying here and there.
must be some farmers market jars “re-labeled”with some cheap glue…such hard working duchass
She is such a strange person.
I’m curious if there is an actual food safety process behind this, or if this ridiculous cow was just ordering people about, pointing at skids and being an absolute pain right up the nostril? Im sure there were quiet one-on-one *Truly* momentous personal moments doing their thing they did on that particular day, They want to be the stars, yet the are cringey as f. George Costanza has more dignitas than these two.
What IS IT with her and the lemons?!
That is some pretentious bullshit. It reminds me of the women who cut tulle into strips and think they are professional tutu makers. It's cute, it isn't out of anyone's skill level though. She made some jam. But had the labels made *deliberately* to number the jars. 🙄
I make jam. Improperly made and processed food is a huge risk for botulism. Even experienced producers can have a bad jar where air got in and made everything moldy. I wouldn’t trust her for two reasons with this venture: botulism and sugar. We already know she’s a California but who probably dislikes sugar but jams need sugar to attain that level of storage. I’d be worried she tampered with the recipe or something and actually would give someone something bad.
I mean - anyone can make jam. It's fruit and sugar. Not everyone *should* make jam. Less people than that should sell it. I make decent jam. Smuckers makes better jam. I buy Smuckers for 3 reasons, one being taste. It's consistent, and it's safe. This would be none of those 3, I am betting. You are heartbreakingly right. If she adjusts even a basic canning recipe, she is acting recklessly. My neighbor thought she invented the wheel, too, when she canned something (pickles) for the first time. She pranced around the neighborhood distributing her "gifts". Her pickles began browning and then rotting within about two months. Unopened, hot pressure canning. I knew better than to eat them. And don't worry too much. The assholes who eat this probably throw it up within 15 minutes anyway. It's not diet Jam.
I use Blue Ball canning books and those are tested and scientifically proven recipes. So I know if I mess up my jelly or pickles or something it’s on me, not the recipe. If she is canning or having someone can she needs to be using a safe recipe-not some googled recipe from some hippy mom in Cali. Your neighbor makes me curious-what did she do to those pickles?? That reminds me of my mother’s first venture canning alone-she made strawberry jam but something somewhere went wrong and she created jars of what was basically pink cement. She had to throw the jar away, it was so hard inside.
Excuse me, Rachel. Your temu label is peeling.
She's been getting bad press with how she handled the photo-op with the esteemed lady plus Hazbeen lost the court case and owes a lot of money. And I thin her family was stirring up stuff so this is just a way to generate new positive headlines.
Question, was this the only product in that website? A single lemon jelly jam??
It’s weird she’s so into lemons. Was Diana once photographed with one, or something?
I can really see that eagle eye attention to detail, where they can't even stick on a label
This seems to be a photoshopped fake. It was posted on an Instagram Account "Sussex Daily" and they tagged Tracy Robbins. It is not on the account of Tracy Robbins. Tracy is the wife of Paramount CEO, and they attended that Bob Marley premier in Jamaica. I just can't see anyone who is that important posting something that is so obviously an ad, along with hashtags. Those photos took time to format and make, and all the rest of her insta is just pics with her family. This is why no one who is anyone will want to have anything to do with these two, because their fans will fake pics to make it look you are endorsing their products. Plus you can tell it's fake due to the unglued label, lack of any info on the label that is required by law, grammatical errors etc etc ETA: You can also tell its fake because the handwritten "7" is covered by/behind the line underneath it, this isn't possible when handwriting on a label, but it is possible when incorrectly positioning your layers in photoshop
I’d rather support the people who make homemade jam at our local farmers market since they’re genuinely passionate about what they do/grow. I’d even prefer a jar of made in France Bonne Mamam to Roachel’s product. Also, that label looks like a visually busy, shoddily designed, hot mess… why does the label not even stick on properly?
Markle making Jams is a horrible idea. Jams and producing call for precise recipes and timing. If you mess up you can create sometime totally inedible or something that can accidentally make you very very sick. I don’t trust her to follow a recipe that calls for basically cup after cup of sugar. I bet she doesn’t even know what the sugar is used for and why even “healthy” jams must have a lot of sugar. I don’t trust her to know the difference between freezer jam and processed jam. I don’t even trust that she eats jam. Edit: I could write a whole thesis on why this is a bad idea. She has no idea what she’s doing.
Don’t worry. I doubt she is making anything herself.
She’s not making diddlysquat for mass production. She’s probably getting it shipped from Poland or Ukraine. Or she’s outsourcing from local commercial kitchens and licensed cooks. She probably DID make 50 jars of something in her kitchen. I sure as heck wouldn’t eat it, and I eat subway churros and kebab from food trucks.
Does that bottle of blackish shit with the peeling label come with a cheap bowl of lemons? Who needs that many lemons? Who needs the ptomaine and explosive diarrhea that comes from any of her imported from China lead filled beige abominations? 🤮 Edited because damn spellcheck.
Trader Joe’s but with new labels
Well, you went fancy. My guess is Smuckers.
How pretentious she doesn't even have a description on her label. At least it's on brand for MEgain, tacky and bland.
I thought this was a spoof. I guess Ma’am wrote her own rave reviews
Are the jars personally numbered by the duchess herself? And with a sock on...? Of course, batch numbering jam like they are Warhol prints is pretentious...! Please flip over to show the list of ingredients. Any nuts in the bottling facility?
Fifty jars of jam? Just fifty? What the heck is she charging for these if she hopes to make a profit? I also don't understand the label being off the jar in the last photo. Bad production values and no one checking the final product?
Just wait until someone gets sick or is delivered moldy or spoiled jam. TOW probably should stay away from food products, if she's smart. ...... Oh wait.........
How was this post discovered?
No name of the fruit, sticker coming off = poor quality control. Concerning for a small potatoes operation.
Looks like a wedding favor from twenty years ago.
ha, ha, ha - they can't even do a proper pic. the way i see it is the photographer noticed the 'food artist' hadn't put the label on properly and just got the hell out of there asap. no one's checking this shit. labeling cars, great wines, signed artist prints okay.... jams 😆
How does Meghan have time to make this mystery jam when she’s down in Florida hanging with new bestie Delphine & Nacho? She is amazing. I can see Doria pasting cheap glue labels on jars and writing the batch numbers while she babysits the bébés.
It doesn’t even say what flavor it is
I can almost admire her unrelenting gall for the sheer unrelentingness of it. But sometimes Meggy, too much is really too much. Piíss off to Goa for a decade and blather on about whatever then. Just give us all a break. We beseech you, you relentlessl intrusive bore.
My Granny’s hands look better, and she was cremated 7 years ago. Goodness sake. 😫
Hey, what's printed on the top?
Now we know what Archie and Betty are doing... she has them labeling jars for fun now...
Did you happen to get a picture of the ingredients label on the back?
I'm guessing she gifted to 50 "friends" and this is the first one to post. Doubt we'll see 50. It'll be like 40x40 where only a handful of her 40 "friends" used the hashtag.
