The Post taste-tests Meghan Markle’s ‘acidic’ As Ever jam, ‘janky’ cookies and ‘bland’ tea

Ever since Meghan “Jam Is My Jam” Markle announced that a berry jam would be one of the first products released under what was then known as her America Riviera Orchard label, the world has eagerly wondered what the groundbreaking pantry goods actually taste like.

Today, The Post can exclusively report that the Duchess of Sussex’s “keepsake” packaged $14 raspberry spread — now branded As Ever, due to trademark issues — has a very familiar flavor.

“It tastes like the same kind of raspberry spread/jam/jelly/preserve that you can buy in any supermarket in the United States,” longtime Post food critic Steve Cuozzo said in an official taste test. “It tastes fine. Raspberry jam always tastes fine. There’s nothing unique about this.”

It’s one of nine As Ever products that the duchess launched last Wednesday.

The line, which also include teas, honey, baking mixes and flower sprinkles, sold out in less than an hour and created havoc for those desperate for a taste of Markle’s Montecito — by way of a gritty stretch of Hollywood that is home to the As Ever LCC offices, by way of parts unknown. (Meghan, your loyal subjects want to know: Will you be hit by tariffs?)

Wherever it comes from, the sweetness level of the “runny” fruit spread — as it must be called, according to FDA guidelines for sugar content — polarized taste testers.

It “has a really high acid profile, making it completely unenjoyable,” griped editor Zachary Kussin.

“I like [that] there’s not a lot of sugar, like with a Smucker’s brand,” said commerce reporter Emma Sutton-Williams.

The As Ever Shortbread Cookie Mix with Flower Sprinkles ($14) also garnered mixed reviews.

“I’ve tried a lot of shortbread cookie mixes out of a box and I’m always disappointed. I’m not disappointed with these,” said Sutton-Williams, declaring the treats an “A+.”

Still, she noted the cookies were time- and labor-intensive — requiring an hour in the fridge and two sticks of butter. (Has anyone checked Prince Harry’s cholesterol levels lately?)

“Did Meghan consult with Paula Deen? Because these are very butter forward,” said Post senior writer Jeanette Settembre, who baked them.

Kussin, for one, declared the cookie “brittle,” “insipid” and void of flavor: “It has the consistency of a hockey puck and the flavor of a hockey puck.”

But Cuozzo had some encouraging words, saying, “Meghan, Duchess, you’re in the ballpark.”

For columnist Kirsten Fleming, there was one big letdown: the now-infamous flower sprinkles that Markle cheerfully employs on her Netflix show “With Love, Meghan,” perhaps to distract from her abysmal knife skills.

As Ever’s $15 jar of edible dried flowers — which looks uncomfortably close to the potpourri you used to see next to bathroom sinks in the ’90s — was sold out within minutes. But hallelujah, a small packet of the flower sprinkles is included in the cookie mix!

Unfortunately, they were dull and too small to lend any legitimate pop of color.

“There was such a big deal made about them that I expected them to be like this pinata coming out of the cookie, and it just looks like a few colorful crumbs,” said a disappointed Fleming.

“Janky,” declared Settembre.

One thing all the taste-testers seemed to agree on was that the herbal peppermint tea ($12) was as bland and beige as the oatmeal-hued Jenni Kayne sweater Markle wears on her show — and promotes on her new ShopMy page (noting in small print that she may get a cut of the proceeds, natch).

It’s “understated, just like the royal family,” a diplomatic Sutton-Williams said of the hot beverage.

Kussin, a self-described “peppermint tea enthusiast,” called it bland and said it “could be a lot more minty.” He prefers the free Harney & Sons peppermint tea available in The Post offices.

“It’s not very strong, the flavor isn’t really there … it’s quite ordinary,” lamented Cuozzo of Markle’s tea. “If all it takes is making a product like this, then I want to be a duchess myself.”

So it tastes like shit…no wonder she sent the first batch to actors and actresses. They had to fake their approval.

The Celebratory Cake Worthy of Every Spring Moment – Jenni Kayne

[skayafair]

I don't know how many of you watched Dead Boys Detectives but seriously GO WATCH IT

There's the oh so familiar topic of "I'll follow you to hell and back, my friend, although I wish you stopped going there" (literally) a.k.a. male friendship and importance of platonic relationship done poorly in my pov I'm not fond of the way it was executed but I've had my rant already feel free to read a day or so earlier

Trust me Edwin has some of Arthur's rizz of getting into situations, going through horrors, being a supernatural being's favourite (unfortunately) and covered in blood. And tortured just as a treat. Oh right, forgot the British part

Kindness to the otherworldly creatures (haven't seen that in visual media FOR A WHILE)

A local Kayne in spirit although, alas, not in the power range (the mannerisms are less prominent but are still familiar) (I suddenly feel the lack if cat!Kayne fanart)

Actual investigations for every episode save for the finale

Lilith

But also a ton of badass women! Niko's the best girl and I don't take criticism (trust me she's more than the cliché she seems to be in the beginning) and Jenny is just. Well. Have you seen her. ❤‍🔥 And I love Crystal's journey!

I caught myself on thinking back to Malevolent more than once while watching. Can't tell why exactly, it's not like these two shows are that much alike, quite the opposite, but something in their vibes brings them together in my book.

An Unsponsored Review: "The Post taste tests Meghan Markle’s ‘acidic’ As Ever jam, ‘janky’ cookies and ‘bland’ tea" By Hailey Eber Published April 7, 2025

Ever since Meghan “Jam Is My Jam” Markle announced that a berry jam would be one of the first products released under what was then known as her America Riviera Orchard label, the world has eagerly wondered what the groundbreaking pantry goods actually taste like.

The Post tried out raspberry spread, peppermint tea and shortbread cookie mix with flower sprinkles from Meghan Markle’s As Ever line. It’s one of nine As Ever products that the duchess launched last Wednesday.

The line, which also include teas, honey, baking mixes and flower sprinkles, sold out in less than an hour and created havoc for those desperate for a taste of Markle’s Montecito — by way of a gritty stretch of Hollywood that is home to the As Ever LCC offices, by way of parts unknown. 🤭

From the Comments:

"Thanks for the reviews!! Doesn't sound like any of these items are worth shelling out alot of money for. There may not be many repeat buyers after either a) people aren't digging the products that much, and /or b) the debacle with the honey not being available, and/or c) most people cannot afford these items even if they thought they were great. And come on....two sticks of butter in the cookies?! Outrageous."

"I don't think anyone had great expectations here,, except Rachel. She was never a noted anglophile; if she had been , she might know bad , when she made it. The much lauded edible flowers are Guinea pig and rabbit food. Big woo. The raspberry spread, according to reviews- makes bread soggy and ineatable. It might work on pancakes, if you like acidic foods. Hip O Krit rachel said in these pages that she and Malleable are independently wealthy, and have no need to work. Now she says the opposite. Which is the truth?"
