Pickled Asian Pears with Lemon Oct 4th 2013, 13:00 Enlarge Credit: Helen Rosner MAKES 1 QUART/4 CUPS INGREDIENTS Zest of 1 lemon,  cut 2" pieces 5 tbsp. lemon juice 1 tsp. pickled ginger 1 ½ cups sugar 1 tsp. salt 1 cup white wine vinegar 2 tbsp. mirin 2 lbs. Asian pears (about 2 large), or any sweet, firm pear, peeled, cut into 1 ½" wedges, and cored   INSTRUCTIONS  1. Combine lemon zest, juice, ginger, sugar, salt, vinegar, and mirin in a 2-qt. saucepan; set aside. Bring another 2-qt. saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add pears, reduce heat to medium, and cook until pears turn white and are just cooked through and fork-tender, about 6 minutes. Drain and transfer to a sterilized 32-oz. jar; set aside.  2. Bring brine to a boil over high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and pour over pears, covering completely. Screw on resealable lid and follow "Canning with a Boiling Water Bath" procedure. Cool completely and store for up to 1 year if processed in a water bath, or 2 weeks if simply jarred and stored in the fridge. (The pears are ready to eat in 3 days, but taste even better after 5. They will keep their flavor for about a month in the refrigerator, but the color will begin to change after about 2 weeks.)
