Meghan Markle's "crafted" raspberry jam - which retails for a hefty £6.50 a jar - has been brutally mocked by a professional jam-maker, who says it should be labelled a failure. Despite promotional claims that it was inspired by a home recipe, the product is manufactured 2,000 miles from her Montecito home, in an Illinois factory - and has been dubbed a "disappointment" in a withering one-word verdict.
Donna Collins, owner of Jelly Queens, told the Standard: "It's a real disappointment that Meghan is selling a fruit spread, which is what you make when your jam fails. In the jam industry, a spread is what we call something that didn't work."
The factory behind the jam also produces her herbal teas and orange blossom honey. A spokesperson said the final recipe was adapted from one Meghan made herself but had to be scaled up for mass production.
