Lemon zest - from 1 lemon

Method of preparing the pickled pears:

Put the lemon zest, lemon juice, vinegar, mirin, salt, sugar, clove, and anise in a bowl and set aside.
In another pot, fill up enough water to cover the pears (don't put them in yet), boil the water, and then add the pears. Continue cooking on medium heat until tender.
Divide the pears into jars. Don't discard the water. Let the pears cool in the jars.
