Answer 1

During the years 1939-1954, families in the U.S. typically received about one jar of jam or jelly per week as part of their food supply. This amount could vary based on family preferences and local availability. Additionally, wartime rationing and economic factors may have influenced the quantity of jam that families could obtain. Overall, it was common for a family of four to have a modest supply of jam for spreading on bread or using in recipes.
