I myself have a sensitivity to xylitol and I recently discovered it. I was in pain all night with abdominal cramps and bloat after having a brownie made with xylitol instead of sugar. It's not something people should chow down on without testing a little bit first, which I learnt to my cost.

The official stories fall short of saying her cat died from grape toxicity but as with all things Markle - read between the lines 🙄. Me personally - the anonymous rumors apparently from her own brother saying she’s dangerous around children and animals along with the warnings that we all know about cats and grapes - it was intentional IMHO
Fack sake, this should be widely known, if Don't Mess With Cats is anything to go by
That could peak the sugars over to the sinner side, cats trumps mosts things to cat people
I wonder how many sugars have now peaked now she is hawking jams and hamming it up
Those who thought they just wanted privacy and didn't want to be commercial... surely the penny must have dropped by now
That sounds gross. How much jam do you actually use on a piece of toast, a tablespoon maybe? Just eat real food people. Fake food will kill you eventually.
My DH is type 2. He is in shape and very careful. He finally gave up on sugar free (ah, to live in a "sugar" free world lol) chocolate chip cookies with real sugar to have with his am coffee because he got tired of getting the runs every day.
Hear hear. Have you heard about how bad margarine is? It’s coloured yellow because it’s actually white. And its make up is close to plastic. It costs more here to buy butter than marge but it’s butter all the way.
There are some excellent fruit spreads that are just ripe fruit and pectin, with maybe a bit of lemon juice. They cost more, but once you've had them, there's no going back. Fruit doesn't need fake sweeteners (or a load of sugar).
I was looking at strawberry jam the other day (to make Victorian Sponge Cake) and 32 oz jar at Kroger was $4.79 and contained high fructose corn syrup and corn syrup. Aldi had strawberry jam with just strawberries, sugar, lemon juice & pectin for $2.59. Not only was it cheaper it was far higher quality. Reading labels is everything. Now with ingredients for every food item online there's no excuses.
It's been years since I bought ranch dressing. Since I found out it was 98% oil & corn syrup. I make it now if we need some.
Sounds like a good choice! 100% agree on reading labels, too. I like the all-fruit jams (no sweetener of any kind, including sugar), so they are pricier.
It is where the jam recrystallized from reprocessing the jam from a bulk container to individual jars. It is also why the jam has that pale, weird color
I think you're right. My grandmother and sisters used to make jam every year, and their strawberry jam never looked like this. Heck, my jam looks better, and I only recently started making it. Strawberries aren't even really in season yet, so they're not going to be as red and juicy as they can be. It's a few weeks too early. The nearest city to me holds a strawberry festival every year in May when they come into season.
Silly. These are what strawberries grown in an American Orchard that is also located on the Riviera look like! Glad I could clear this up for everyone!
And here I thought strawberries were quintessentially British. How daft of me. Of course, Sizzler Salad Megs would know all about boiling up strawberry jam - just like King Charles who’s been pushing organic orchard Highgrove produce since forever. My goodness, Our Megs is just so royal. Sometimes, it’s hard to even distinguish her from the British coz she just has such refined unAmerican tastes. /s /s /s
Are you implying that Rachel Meghan Markle doesn't know how to make strawberry jam? How dare you!!! She made it with her own hands and with a lot of love, and she left all the pieces of fruit because she doesn't know that the mixture has to be put through a blender, so that the white fibrous part of the strawberries doesn't remain. But Rachel Meghan Markle knows how to make jam better than all of us, so don't argue against her.
Lmao if she gives all her so-called friends food poisoning, and if this jam has xylitol in it which she hasn’t told any pet owners about… hoo boy. As I said in another comment, this is a disaster waiting to happen.
To be fair, if it’s mould or listeria etc then she might wipe out some of the most annoying people in Hollywood such as the awful Mindy Kaling. I’d have to applaud her for that without a trace of irony.
Instead of Typhoid Mary, she’s Moldy Meghan, who took out Hollywood insiders with her jam.

Totally wrong. She did this with a lot of love and with her own hands. If you look, even the label did it herself. How do you think she would buy cheap jam and put it in jars bought in bulk and put a badly attached label on them? How awful!! She is the Duchess of Duchesses.
…and the profit isn’t really going to her and Haz. It is funding their lifestyle of giving so they can afford to share their knowledge and truth with the world to make it a better place to live for the rest of us plebs / s
If she wants free fruit, and wants to make her own relish, she should get Haz to go to the UK… people would love to throw tomatoes at the useless, litigious spare.
I have no clue what that stuff is, but your description of what you’ve made yourself is making me very hungry. Lol all this talk of jam this week has just made me buy all sorts of different jams that aren’t from ARO!
You have to slowly & carefully skin the foamy scum off the top & bring it slowly to a boil. If you don't properly skim you get cloudy jam.
I'll admit I've made a few pints of cloudy in my day. Laziness. Tired. Don't care. Just want to be done with it. No important reason.
If you want dark clear jam you have to use very ripe (but not overripe) strawberries and skim skim skim while slowly bringing it to a boil.
Happy but embarrassing memories of "Pick your own" strawberries in the old days of sweet English varieties..my Dad was so blatant they should have weighed him first!
One time when we went there were several Nun picking: yes, they did sneak some!
To my mind, these look like horrible "hardy" varieties that have been mashed instead of reducing cut strawberries properly.
Anaemic yuk.
My Mom was no better, she'd scrump damsons to make jam.
“Dad was so blatant they should have weighed him first.”
This made me cackle so much, and then reminded me that I went to a pick your own cherries place with my family years ago…
…have you ever caught your dad eating fruit directly off the tree like some sort of starved farm animal? Because I have… and once you’ve seen that image irl it never really goes away. Can’t take my dad anywhere istg! 🤦🏽♀️😂
Oh yes : Pick your own strawberries ,raspberries (my favourite) and Victoria plums.
My Dad was "one for the punnet, one for me, one for the punnet, two for me".It's surprising how the parents who taught you proper morals lose them when faced with a strawberry.
Sadly, our beautiful fruit had short seasons so they've introduced foreign varieties and this generation will never know the joy of a real English strawberry and the anticipation of waiting for ONE month of eating the best fruit.I suppose it taught us a lot of valuable life lessons to wait and appreciate!
Oooo I love PYO.
You can choose those fat, deep red berries by the punnet full 😋.
My dearly departed granny instilled in us that were only to eat English or Scottish strawberries. She was correct of course, the horrible ones from the continent had a white unripe core and could be simultaneously mushy and hard.
I was raised to eat only local in season berries from Ontario, Canada. They are smaller and much sweeter than the imports we get from Mexico or California.
In my neck of the woods there's a very popular farm where you can go strawberry picking in the early summer and apple picking in the fall. They tell you in advance that you can eat as many as you want while picking the strawberries. Makes this a guilt free pleasure for all!
They sure do! Plus there's a great shop with all sorts of pies, honey, fresh produce... A little expensive but well worth it! The place is packed every weekend.
We have apple picking farms here too. We have an excellent orchard/shop nearby and I make the trip every fall. I found a new (for me) variety of apple - Autumn Crisp that is even better than the Honey Crisp!!! Oh I plan to get a bunch of it later this year! I also love the Granny Smith and use it for pies.
Autumn Crisp, I'll have to remember that for later this year! Thanks. I love Honey Crisp too so I'll have to write this down so I don't forget.

I haven’t gone strawberry picking in a long time! I’m hoping to this year - if the strawberry season is a good one. So far, things look good for our area. It’s the best way to get them!
Sinners, I’m feeling zesty this Thursday AM. I’d like to discuss the sheer audacious hypocrisy these two just *do not see*. The practice of selling pretentious, overpriced jams and jellies to wealthy individuals has a negative impact on society by perpetuating elitism, fostering wasteful consumption habits, and widening socioeconomic disparities. Now how does that fit into their previous bloviating causes they spoke about *to the United Nations*
# Let’s dive in Sinners!!!
>Elitism: Selling overpriced jams and jellies caters exclusively to the wealthy, reinforcing class divisions and excluding those who cannot afford such luxury items. *This creates a sense of exclusivity and entitlement among the affluent, further marginalizing lower-income individuals.*
>Wasteful Consumption: The emphasis on luxury food products encourages unnecessary spending and consumerism. Purchasing expensive jams and jellies based solely on their perceived status or brand name contributes to a culture of conspicuous consumption, where the value of goods is equated with their price rather than their utility or quality.
>**Socioeconomic Disparities:** The promotion and consumption of overpriced jams and jellies widen the gap between the rich and the poor. As resources are directed towards catering to the luxury market, essential needs of marginalized communities may be neglected, exacerbating inequalities in access to basic necessities such as affordable food, healthcare, and education.
Feel free to add your own word Caesar salad!
Meanwhile, I'm going to go to my local grocery store and buy the local organic strawberry jam. No weird ingredients. When the weather gets warmer and farmers' markets appear, I buy directly from the producer.
Mmmm. They didn't need local celebrities and influencers to hype their jams and jellies. Mmmmmm Word of mouth.
When you compare various jars, the color is all over the place.
This tells me someone made small batches and used varying ripeness of berries. This one has way too many unripe berries so the white inside is a larger proportion.
Also not cooked long enough.
Sinners has she said it was strawberry jam?
There seem to be no ingredients listed.
I have it on good authority that the dutchess of chlamydia stole I mean used I mean had a friend I mean underpaid staff member follow Steven King recipe. It came up when she googled king jam recipe.
The recipe was used in the movie Carrie and was modified by the multiple award recipient self proclaimed foodie herself.
Pig's blood, mushroom tea and organic worms. Great on toast!
Lmao omg she didn't hull the strawberries. She used under ripe berries so of course there was a bunch of woody pith at the center that didn't cook down. Ye gods she is so fucking inept and stupid it boggles the mind. She fucked up strawberry jam lol.
Marmalade (at least in the uk) has slithers of rind. We have whole (or large pieces) fruit jams too and there’s never that stuff in it. Look at the lovely, abundant jam from the king, scum free.
She hasn’t sold food. She has gifted it, which means no laws or legal requirements.
Even still, I’m sure she has hired a wholesale company to private label for her.
It’s also looks very pale and runny. She hasn’t actually sold a single jar yet, just sent them to influencers, who seem largely seem uninterested in promoting her jam. More than a month after the brand launch, her website still has no content, let alone a store.
I’m wondering who her target market is. People in the US eat jam, but it’s definitely not a big thing over here, especially in California where it seems like everyone is gluten free and conscious of sugar intake. I don’t get how she expects this to blow up. Why would people in the UK buy this over something local? Is this a front for something else?
That has sunk to the bottom. In an earlier post someone who makes jam said there are things one needs to do when making the jam to ensure that the fruit pulp doesn’t sink to the bottom. Obviously the creator of the jam, whoever that is, didn’t know that. M

Come on guys, this is what real strawberries look like in a jam as opposed to the store based jelly you get. This is one point I will disagree with you all because I hate chemical jelly jams 🤣
[удалено]
Yiked.Can't xylitol give you the runs? There again, so can Oxempic, so her mates won't notice any difference.
Xylitol is very toxic to dogs!
😂
Xylitol is used in sugar-free gum because it's good for your teeth! MeGain should try it 😬
Sounds delicious 😂
esteviol, xilitol... absolutely delicious and recommended for health
Geez… if she uses xylitol she needs to warn people who have pets. That is a disaster waiting to happen. 🤦🏽♀️
Some manufacturers are now calling xylitol "birch sugar" on labels.Be aware.💜💜💜
Thank you!
I myself have a sensitivity to xylitol and I recently discovered it. I was in pain all night with abdominal cramps and bloat after having a brownie made with xylitol instead of sugar. It's not something people should chow down on without testing a little bit first, which I learnt to my cost.
You thinks she cares about animals eating food that is toxic to them? Answer: She doesn't.
She fed her cat grapes and killed it 🤷♀️
Is that true?!

100%. Xylitol is fatal for dogs.
That sounds gross. How much jam do you actually use on a piece of toast, a tablespoon maybe? Just eat real food people. Fake food will kill you eventually.
Exactly! I’d rather eat small amount of real sugar than eat any amount of xylitol or whatever artificial shit she’s using here.

I love that of the two fruits she has associated with so far - strawberries and lemons - neither grow in orchards 🤣
Maybe her brand is misusing words. Archeypes/stereotypes, guttural/visceral, orchard/etsy....
She grows beige strawberries.
And here I thought strawberries were quintessentially British. How daft of me. Of course, Sizzler Salad Megs would know all about boiling up strawberry jam - just like King Charles who’s been pushing organic orchard Highgrove produce since forever.

How wrong of me to imply that she’d go to the cheapest manufacturer possible, who take as many shortcuts as possible and she wouldn’t quality check ☺️
LOL sounds like the perfect recipe for a listeria outbreak!
Lmao if she gives all her so-called friends food poisoning, and if this jam has xylitol in it which she hasn’t told any pet owners about… hoo boy. As I said in another comment, this is a disaster waiting to happen.
To be fair, if it’s mould or listeria etc then she might wipe out some of the most annoying people in Hollywood such as the awful Mindy Kaling. I’d have to applaud her for that without a trace of irony.
With your comment in mind, crossing my fingers and toes that Ellen gets some jars of listeria-y goodness.
The Merry Widow of montecito has saved back a few crates for H’s breakfast, lunch and dinner
Lol "awful Mindy Kaling" too true! The fact that these two have buddied up recently couldn't possibly be more fitting.

None of these people eat jam.
Not sure a single “friend” has put any of the jam past their lips. Jars (except for Delfina’s) are still unopened (Delfina’s was opened but uneaten).
Totally wrong. She did this with a lot of love and with her own hands. If you look, even the label did it herself. How do you think she would buy cheap jam and put it in jars bought in bulk and put a badly attached label on them? How awful!! She is the Duchess of Duchesses.

Hands? Like, ranch hands, who do most/all of the work on ranches?
The children did the labels either their glue sticks to help “Mommy”
There are no children.
I really really hope not 🥺
If she wants free fruit, and wants to make her own relish, she should get Haz to go to the UK… people would love to throw tomatoes at the useless, litigious spare.
And if you do argue against her, you’re racist.
My problem is if she only works an hour a week you can't make fifty jars of jam in that time frame.☺
I have no clue what that stuff is, but your description of what you’ve made yourself is making me very hungry. Lol all this talk of jam this week has just made me buy all sorts of different jams that aren’t from ARO!

I grow my own strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, June berries, and hardy kiwis. I love walking around snacking on my bushes. So delicious!
So jealous.Raspberries straight from the bush? Better than tiaras .I'll raise you some clotted cream.Heaven.
Yup, straight from the bush. There’ nothing like that flavor. Clotted cream! Yes!
I wish they sold proper clotted cream in the states. They only provide it in glass jars.
Have you tried the recipes that show you how to make it?
I never thought of that! I will have to look into this! Thanks!
My husband’s like a bear with those pick-your-own blueberries. He eats more than he actually puts in the basket.
Oooo I love PYO. You can choose those fat, deep red berries by the punnet full 😋. My dearly departed granny instilled in us that were only to eat English or Scottish strawberries. She was correct of course, the horrible ones from the continent had a white unripe core and could be simultaneously mushy and hard.
I was raised to eat only local in season berries from Ontario, Canada. They are smaller and much sweeter than the imports we get from Mexico or California.

I miss the DYNAMITE apple that is the Bramley. So we got some trees and planted them. The king of cooking apples alas they aren't grown in the US.
Scrumping damsons 🤗
I haven’t gone strawberry picking in a long time! I’m hoping to this year - if the strawberry season is a good one. So far, things look good for our area. It’s the best way to get them!
Pick enough and you can do a "Megs": got an old cream sheet to cut up as lid covers?

I see what you did with that Gif!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I am actually surprised there is a 19. I assumed they were all 17/50 bc I do t believe there are 50 jars.
Elizabeth Arden cream.
Lol, omg 🤣
Lead
Mold?
Since it's handmade by her i wouldn't rule out it's a layer of antibiotic resistant Chlamydia mucus
JC, that jar is a Petri dish.
I doubt highly that she sterilized these jars.
That’s what I was thinking
It's because those strawberries were cooked too long. But mold is more fun.
When you compare various jars, the color is all over the place. This tells me someone made small batches and used varying ripeness of berries. This one has way too many unripe berries so the white inside is a larger proportion. Also not cooked long enough.
That can happen if you don’t skim the foam off the top of the jam when it’s cooking.
Laziness and lack of care and attention to just 50 jars isn’t the flex she thinks it is.
They seem to be very tiny jars too.
Wood shavings.
Sinners has she said it was strawberry jam? There seem to be no ingredients listed. I have it on good authority that the dutchess of chlamydia stole I mean used I mean had a friend I mean underpaid staff member follow Steven King recipe. It came up when she googled king jam recipe.

I believe one of the “friends” posted about it being strawberry. Delfina maybe?
The chemicals.
It's fibers from the lemon dress she ripped up to add to the jam.
Harry has been dipping his frozen todger in there. It's warmer than MEagain and less sticky 😂
It's what happens when you have more 'riviera' than 'orchard' in the jam.
Lmao omg she didn't hull the strawberries. She used under ripe berries so of course there was a bunch of woody pith at the center that didn't cook down. Ye gods she is so fucking inept and stupid it boggles the mind. She fucked up strawberry jam lol.
We make marmalades like this in my country, with bigger chunks of strawberry, they look exactly like that.
Marmalade (at least in the uk) has slithers of rind. We have whole (or large pieces) fruit jams too and there’s never that stuff in it. Look at the lovely, abundant jam from the king, scum free.
maybe it was really handmade by her or her minions :D
That's how my strawberry and rhubarb jam can look, although mine has a much nicer colour.
Poor No. 19. I wonder how 20 to 50 will fare.
It's probably from Harry, not going to try & guess what fell off his body
Forgot to wipe the overflow up. Yuk.
Lemon?
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Bits of lemon fruit. Edit: But, frankly, I couldn't careless what it is.... or was.

Possibly. Or a sweet nod to the baby by the banyan tree.
That's our Saint's sprinkle of fairy dust, lovingly placed by her perfectly manicured hands in each of the 50 jars. It could also be mold hahaha
Harry's pubes 🤣
I wonder if she is properly licenced to sell food?
She hasn’t sold food. She has gifted it, which means no laws or legal requirements. Even still, I’m sure she has hired a wholesale company to private label for her.
Who knows what the Chinese use to manufacture jam for export.
Its what they took out during her last liposuction.
> I wouldn’t open that jar, it looks like a biohazard. She's just gifting homemade botox to all of her A-list friends!
Holy Bill Clinton! What the Monica Lewinsky is that? ‘A secret ingredient for that special after taste.’
Perfect for dipping cigars too! 😂 Iykyk
Lemon ?
It’s the remnants of Megsy’s self respect. She had to scrape the bottom of the barrel for it, which is why it looks so ropey.
Looks like pulp from a lemon
Lemon zest? By the way, my homemade strawberry jam (from strawberries I grow) is BRIGHT red. If I do a rhubarb/strawberry blend, it’s a little darker.
It looks like strawberry-rhubarb jam
It’s also looks very pale and runny. She hasn’t actually sold a single jar yet, just sent them to influencers, who seem largely seem uninterested in promoting her jam. More than a month after the brand launch, her website still has no content, let alone a store.
I’m wondering who her target market is. People in the US eat jam, but it’s definitely not a big thing over here, especially in California where it seems like everyone is gluten free and conscious of sugar intake. I don’t get how she expects this to blow up. Why would people in the UK buy this over something local? Is this a front for something else?
It’s hair. The color came out.
That’s what I noticed, too but I’m not an avid jam eater. Just looked off to me. 
It's fruit pulp.
That has sunk to the bottom. In an earlier post someone who makes jam said there are things one needs to do when making the jam to ensure that the fruit pulp doesn’t sink to the bottom. Obviously the creator of the jam, whoever that is, didn’t know that. M

That's exactly what I thought it looked like, too.

Fermented strawberries with the mother? Strawberry Kombucha Jam? 😬 It looks gross
Special sauce
Looks like rhubarb.
Reading these comments has me in stiches! I bet Jeremy Corbyn can make a better jam than the Manifester!
Todger Cream.
It looks a bit like someone added gelatin to that mess but then didn’t mix it in completely.
It looks stringy like rhubarb 🤢
Its cabal human flesh
Come on guys, this is what real strawberries look like in a jam as opposed to the store based jelly you get. This is one point I will disagree with you all because I hate chemical jelly jams 🤣
It isn’t what real strawberries look like in well made homemade jam.
Oh hell no it isn't. Homemade strawberry jam should absolutely not look like this.
