The £6.50-a-jar preserve was shown to Meghan's Instagram followers through a video in which it can been seen bubbling in a pot, with her four-year-old daughter Lilibet heard in the background saying "beautiful".
According to reports, the jam is revealed to have been produced by The Republic of Tea, a privately owned American tea company based in Larkspur, California - roughly 350 miles away from Meghan's Montecito mansion.
However its factory is around 2,000 miles away in Illinois, according to the MailOnline.
The company also makes her sold-out orange blossom honey, priced at £21 a jar, and her £9 packs of herbal tea.

A source close to Meghan said that in order to formulate the commercially available product, they "started with the version Meghan makes at home and worked to develop a version of it that could be produced at scale".
The As Ever website describes her raspberry jam as "inspired by the recipe she made in her home kitchen" – and says it was deliberately crafted with a "fluid texture".
The website also reads: "As Ever is more than a brand - it's a love language.
"Created by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, As Ever welcomes you to a collection of products, each inspired by her long-lasting love of cooking, entertaining and hostessing with ease."
