Stud each piece with a clove. Tie up the other spices and lemon rind in a muslin (or cotton) material. Dissolve the sugar in the vinegar and add the bag of spices. Simmer the pears in this until they are tender enough to be pierced with a skewer. This may take a LONG time. Remove them with a perforated spoon and pack into clean hot jars. Simmer the vinegar until it is syrupy and cover the fruit with it. Tie down and seal the jars. If the pears are very hard, you can try making Spiced Pears, which are better with hard pears.
