This little jar of maple-sweetened lemon curd can bring so much glory to pancakes, waffles, or your humble piece of toast. Slather it on with wild abandon, and then thank yourself for making such a vibrantly delicious preserve. You could also make it using orange or lime in place of the lemon for something a little different.
