Meghan Markle's new venture is going to be the jam.
In fact, the first product from the Duchess of Sussex's new lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard is a jar of strawberry jam, according to photos shared by Meghan and husband Prince Harry's good friend Tracy Robins.
"Thank you for the delicious basket," Tracy wrote in an April 15 Instagram Story. "I absolutely love this jam so not sure i'm sharing with anyone."
Addressing Meghan directly, she added, "Thank you, M."
Along with her note, Tracy shared a photo of the luxe basket filled with juicy lemons and a jar of the American Riviera Orchard spread, which was covered by a rustic square of cheesecloth and tied with a bow.
And the fashion designer wasn't done gushing about the fruity condiment. Atop another Instagram Story showing a close-up of the jar, she wrote, "breakfast, lunch and dinner just got a little sweeter."
Meghan first shared she'd be launching American Riviera Orchard back in March, when she returned to social media to debut a new website and Instagram account for the project. While she kept details on the business mostly under wraps, the 42-year-old offered a few clues through a series of posts to her new page, one of which showed her cooking in the kitchen and arranging flowers. In other photos unveiling the brand's logo, Meghan also noted that the operation would be based out of Montecito, Calif., where she resides with Harry and their kids Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, 2.
But Meghan's foray into the lifestyle space is nothing new. After all, the Suits alum previously operated a lifestyle blog, called The Tig, until it shut down in 2017.
Though the brand didn't end up going the distance, Meghan expressed pride in all she'd created in the end.
"What began as a passion project (my little engine that could)," she wrote in a farewell post on The Tig at the time, "evolved into an amazing community of inspiration, support, fun and frivolity."
Meghan added, "You've made my days brighter and filled this experience with so much joy."

In a March 22 video message, the Princess of Wales shared that she'd been diagnosed with cancer after undergoing abdominal surgery in January.
"It was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful," she said before noting that tests after the operation found cancer had been present. "My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment."
After photo agencies pulled the picture Kensington Palace shared of Kate since having her abdominal surgery on March 10, the Princess of Wales addressed claims the photo was doctored.
"Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing," she tweeted on March 11. "I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother's Day. C."
Princess Diana's niece celebrated Mother's Day in the U.K. by sharing she and her husband Michael Lewis privately welcomed their first baby.
“It’s the joy of my life to be your mummy, little one. I love you unconditionally," she captioned her March 10 Instagram post. "Happy Mother’s Day to those who celebrate today."
After keeping up her full slate of engagements in the wake of her husband's cancer diagnosis, the palace cleared Camilla's schedule.
The Times pointed out March 2 that the 76-year-old didn't have any engagements on her calendar until March 11, when she'd be due at Westminster Abbey to observe Commonwealth Day.
The husband of Lady Gabriella Windsor and ex-boyfriend of Pippa Middleton, was found dead Feb. 25. Days later, a coroner's inquest found that he died by suicide.
While King Charles III was in the hospital for his benign prostate enlargement procedure, the royal family member was diagnosed with cancer.
"His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties," Buckingham Palace said Feb. 5. "Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible."

"Based on the current medical advice," the Palace said, "she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter."
Amid Kate's recovery, Prince William postponed a number of engagements as he supported his family, including the couple's three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Shortly after Kate's hospitalization was made public, Buckingham Palace shared that Charles "has sought treatment for an enlarged prostate."
"His Majesty's condition is benign and he will attend hospital next week for a corrective procedure," the statement added. "The King’s public engagements will be postponed for a short period of recuperation."
