Abigail, a close friend of the Duchess of Sussex, revived one of 50 limited-edition jars of American Riviera Orchard strawberry jam.
The Suits and Grey's Anatomy actress posted with the sixth jar of the batch in a somewhat over-the-top garden photoshoot where she reclined on the grass hugging a fruit bowl containing the preserve.
"This jam is my jam," Abigail told her followers. "A delicious taste of what’s to come indeed… love you so M."
Meghan unveiled the first product from her new lifestyle brand last week with dozens of influencers being given an exclusive look.
The post, where Abigail is seen with black sunglasses as she reclines in the sun, was met with delight from her followers.
Mindy Kailing commented: "This is like an ad for sunshine and happiness."
Another wrote: "Women supporting women, that’s my thing."
But others joked that the post was "hilarious" and "cringe", while one said it was "not even good staging".
"These photos are embarrassing and weird. Who rolls around on their lawn with a basket of lemons?," another said.
Fashion designer Tracy Robbins and Argentine socialite Delfina Balquier were also among those to receive a basket containing the Duchess of Sussex's new strawberry jam.
Photos of the hamper have been shared all over social media, with Tracy commenting: "Thank you for the delicious basket! I absolutely love this jam so not sure I'm sharing with anyone."
She added: "Thank you M!"
Meanwhile, Ms Balquier, who is married to Prince Harry's polo friend Nacho Figueras, said: "I love your jam."
On her jam jar, the label displayed the words '10 out of 50', showing how many people were treated to a first taste.
Meghan launched the new business venture on March 14 with an initial Instagram teaser.
Products are not yet available to purchase, with soon-to-be customers instead being encouraged to join a waitlist.
