Sticky Spoons Jam

Sticky Spoons Jam

Sticky Spoons Jam crafts small-batch, Michigan-made jams and preserves using locally sourced fruit. Each jar features inventive, hand-picked flavor combinations—like blueberry lavender, apple pie, strawberry jalapeño, and peach basil jalapeño—all made without preservatives, artificial flavors, or high-fructose corn syrup


Founded by U.S. Navy veteran Aiyenede “Aiye” Akhigbe, Sticky Spoons Jam is a Black female veteran-owned business rooted in community and authenticity. The brand selects 95% of its fruit from small family farms within a 30-mile radius and has grown from a cottage operation to a licensed kitchen and storefront, now featured in dozens of retail locations and boosted by community-focused initiatives.
