This is particularly delicious on ice cream, though I can see it on pumpkin pie on Christmas Eve. That's how it used to be served.

Boil the maple syrup down until it forms a thread (227 ° on a candy thermometer). Allow it to cool a bit. Using an electric mixer, blend the syrup, cream, and lemon juice into the egg whites. It is best to do this in the smallest bowl possible so that you can literally whip up the sauce.
