I remember my father getting into trouble with my mother because he had used some of meagre ration allowance to make me Butterballs - Malteser size balls of butter rolled in sugar - which he said would cure my sore throat. Don't remember if they worked, but I do remember that they were delicious! And, yes, blackcurrant tea made with a spoonful of jam in hot water was another sore throat and cold remedy.
Butter had to be scraped onto bread as thinly as possible in those days, and then any possible surplus was scraped off again. Same for jam, too. But we did love our bread and jam, an essential for our high tea.
