Wash, peel, and cut pears into baby bite-sized chunks.
In a large sauce pan over medium heat, add pears, spices, lemon peel, and water. Using a spoon, mix thoroughly to coat pears in spices.
Bring to a boil, then place the lid on top and lower the heat to simmer for approximately 20 minutes. Check for doneness by piercing with a fork. Cook until tender.
Let cool and enjoy.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
